Horizontal scrolling with a vertical scroll wheel

Recently I sadly had to ditch my mighty mouse. Good by little friend.
I couldn't justify spending 45 minutes of my day trying to clean the wheel.
I miss horizontal scrolling now. I've been told that one can get horizontal scrolling by holding the shift key, but that doesn't work for me.
Any ideas?

My apple mouse that came with my iMac G5 started sticking which was causing problems when I tried to double-click. I bought a Logitech Optical Mouse which works fine on my iMac even if it was intended to be used with a PC. I can even right-click to bring up the options you would get by ccontrol-click an apple mouse. Also the Logitech mouse is cheap compared with an apple mouse.

Horizontal scrolling with mouse wheel?

I have built a website for a client that scrolls only horizontally. Is it possible to scroll with the mouse wheel horizontally?
Is there certain HTML I need to add?
Thank you

Hi,
There is no out of the box solution to force horizontal scrolling with mouse wheel. However, you can add your own code to your Muse site after exporting it. These docs should be helpful :

How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs when you rollover, but I am not able to find it. Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

MouseWheelEvent and Mouse With Two Scroll Wheels (Dual Scroll Wheels)

I have a mouse with two scroll wheels (one for vertical scrolling, the other should be for horizontal). Currently, java sees both wheels as the same (the parameters in MouseWheelEvent are the same regardless of which wheel is used). Does anyone know how to get Java to differentiate these two wheels?

Thanks for your replies.

Gives the same as the command line utility. One single VGA monitor.
I tried deleting /dev/vga_arbiter. Didn't change anything, tried unplugging monitor/rebooting, no change. After reboot file got recreated giving the same output on a `cat /dev/vga_arbiter` which looks like this:
count:1,PCI:0000:00:02.0,decodes=none,owns=none,locks=none(0:0)
I'm not all too happy with downgrading the kernel, I'll eventually try it though (after I found out how to do that).
What do you think about this in dmesg:
[drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* DVI-I-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID
For me this looked like it could be the origin of the problem. But I have no idea how to circumvent this.

Horizontal scroll bar moves with page up/down

I'm new at this and apologize if I don't have the right forum, but can't find any reference to my problem anywhere. A month or so ago the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen started moving up or down with the page as I used the vertical scroll bar to page up or down. The bar partly disintegrates if I click on it, but mostly remains in place and obscures text on that line. If there is more than one page I can make the bar disappear by scrolling the to the next page, and then back. This happens only when I'm on the internet, and appears in news pages ( e.g. NY Times, BBC) and on my e-mails (I use Hotmail). I have a Mac mini, 1.66 GHz, OS 10.4.11, all other updates offered by Apple. I'm sure this is not a Safari problem, and my searches for Apple viruses, Trojans, Worms, has found nothing about this (there are discussions about vertical scrolling, but these don't seem to relate to my problem). So can anyone tell me what this is and how to get rid of it? Thanks for any help. TJ Wont

I've got the same problem. It started when the BBC introduced adverts onto their News website. As the page loads an advert (or sometimes whitespace) appears between the tab and the BBC News banner. This is then shifted to the right hand side when the page fully loads.
I suspect that there's some fancy DHTML going on that Safari isn't rendering properly.
Problem doesn't occur if the Safari window is maximised to full screen width.

Horizontal scrolling with captioned images?

Hey everybody I'm helping a friend with his new site and need help figuring this out:
- I want to add left-aligned text captions below each of the horizonal scrolling images.
- I also want the images/captions to automatically resize to fit every window size (as the images currently do) - would be great if the image caption texts would automatically resize and become smaller with smaller window sizes.
Example here (this is a test without captions): http://briankokoska.com/indextest2.html
If somebody could please try to code the page including the word "caption" left-aligned underneath each of the images I would be very greatful. This way i can add the proper captions myself.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Horizontal scrolling and fixed divisions don't work well in mobile devices.
Try this code in a new, blank document and SaveAs test.html. This works much better in mobile/tablet devices.

OS10.5.8's lost ability to scroll horizontally using scroll wheel & shift key.

I wonder whether somebody can tell me how I can reinstate my OS10.5.8's ability to scroll horizontally using my mouse's scroll wheel and the shift key.

Dear Japamac,
Thanks for this:
> Repair the hard drive using Disk Utility?
My Disk Utility says there are no errors.
> Reset the PRAM?
In a few days' time I'm due to get help at the Genius Bar of an Apple shop. I'll ask the technician about PRAM.
> The function wasn't removed in 10.5.8.......
I gather that your OS10.5.8 with PowerPC allows you to scroll horizontally with your mouse's scroll wheel and the shift key.
As I implied in my words "reinstate my OS10.5.8's ability", I was able to use the horizontal-scroll-with-wheel-and-shift trick for a long time after I installed OS10.5.8 (that was in the middle of 2009).
I'll see whether the Genius Bar can reinstate the trick for me.
Thanks for your ideas, Japamac.

Horizontal scrolling in a JTable with fixed-size columns

Hello,
I have come to a roadblock concerning the following issue. Perhaps someone can share their ideas...
I have a JTable with three fixed-size columns. I implemented a JScrollPane with vertical and horizontal scrolling. However, the text inserted into the last column is too long to fit in the specified column width. I would like to be able to scroll the table so that I can view all of the text in the last column. Right now, the text cuts off and ends with three dots (...). Is there a way in which a horizontal scroll bar can be implemented to view all the text in the last column?
Here is a portion of my code:
num_of_rows_Table2 = (int) Math.pow(3, num_of_vars);
String[] colunmNames_Table2 = {"Decimal Identifier", "Ternary Identifier", "Cancellation of nonimplicants"};
dataModel2 = new DefaultTableModel(colunmNames_Table2, num_of_rows_Table2);
SpaceOfTermsTable = new JTable(dataModel2);
for (int z = 0; z < num_of_rows_Table2; z++)
SpaceOfTermsTable.setRowHeight(z, row_height);
SpaceOfTermsTable.setBounds(new Rectangle(x1_Table2, y1_Table2, width_of_pane2, height_pane2));
SpaceOfTermsTable.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false);
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
TableColumn col = SpaceOfTermsTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
col.setMinWidth(colwidth_Table2);
col.setMaxWidth(colwidth_Table2);
col.setPreferredWidth(colwidth_Table2);
TableColumn lastcol = SpaceOfTermsTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2); lastcol.setMinWidth(lastcol_Table2);
lastcol.setMaxWidth(lastcol_Table2);
lastcol.setPreferredWidth(lastcol_Table2);
SpaceOfTermsTable.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
scrollPanel2 = new JScrollPane(SpaceOfTermsTable, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
scrollPanel2.setAutoscrolls(true);
scrollPanel2.setBounds(new Rectangle(x1_Table2, y1_Table2, width_of_pane2, height_pane2));
Thanks in advance for all of the help!

Ibooks 3.1 how to change horizontal scroll into vertical scroll

update to ibooks 3.1, the scroll mode is changed into horizontal scroll, now in my .epub books it cut so many picture in two parts and display in two pages...how to change , back to vertical mode...

I find this maybe is the new feature only for books with Asia-Pacific words....english books is right with vertical scrolling mode...but chinese books whit horizontal scrolling mode
why apple doesn't make a set up to change between this ..

How can I make Microsoft Wireless Intellemouse Explorer 2.0 horizontally scroll my LabVIEW block diagrams using the tilting wheel?

I bought this expensive mouse in high hopes that I could use the tilt wheel left/right to scroll horizontally, but it does not do it! Vertical scrolling works great. LabVIEW 7.0. Please help! I'm tired of going to the horizontal scroll bar on my block diagrams!

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but if you use the auto tool, press and hold and you get the Scrolling Tool. That will let you drag the diagram or panel around quickly.

Anyone seeing horizontal-scroll-mode issues with Terminal.app?

This is more a broadcast of findings than a question, but:
Related to things here (that is closed/archived):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10061606#10061606
It looks like the version supported locally of bash/readline are working for Terminal.app's default TERM=xterm-256color; however, when sshing to RedHat Enterprise Linux, something goes "sidewasy."
If I'm seeing things correctly, it looks like the default TERM of xterm-256color isn't well supported by... bash? readline? If I leave TERM as default (?) of xterm-256color, then the readline/inputrc config for `set horizontal-scroll-mode Off' is ignored, and I get the hated (by me) horizontal scrolling. If I:
export TERM=xterm-color
in the same session, changing nothing else, and then arrow back "up" into history, I get (my) preferred "vertical" scrolling of my long input command. Are others seeing this?
So, it really looks like earlier versions of bash (before 4.x?) and/or readline (before 6.x?) don't properly support xterm-256color as a valid TERM, and must fall down and assume that the terminal doesn't support things like.. uhh... horizontal-scroll-mode Off. Seems to be fixed by RHEL-6, but a problem in RHEL-4 and RHEL-6.
I'd originally, mistakenly assumed it was a bug in Terminal.app.
Again, this doesn't have to do with a Terminal.app session *local* to the Mac itself; but rather if you've ssh'd to a different operating system.

It is possible that the problem is in the terminfo terminal feature description file for xterm-256color on your Linux systems.
/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color
You can examine the contents of the Mac and the Linux xterm-256color terminfo files using:
From Mac:     infocmp xterm-256color >tmp.mac
From Linux:   infocmp xterm-256color >tmp.linux
...copy the files to the same system...
Compare:      gvimdiff tmp.mac tmp.linux     # or just use diff if your prefer
Actually you may be able to do the compare with infocmp, but I have not experimented with that, and I know how to do the above already, so I went with what I know :-)
You can modify the infocmp generated output, and then compile a new terminfo file using 'tic' (man tic). Then again for all I know, the binary format for a terminfo file is identical on Macs and Linux boxes, so you might be able to tranfer the Mac version to your Linux system(s).
You can use the TERMINFO environment variable to point to a different terminfo database. See 'man 5 terminfo' for more information.
Again, all of this assumes that maybe it is the terminfo term-256color file that is different between the 2 systems.

Broad Question - Horizontal Scrolling Slideshow with Still Images

Hi everyone,
I have to make a horizontal scrolling slideshow using many images of different filetypes, sizes and DPI in Premiere Pro CS5.5. I have tried a few different methods but each has its own problems:
1. Arrange still images horizontally in the timeline, adjacent to eachother, and apply a custom Push video transition between each one. This is a consistent method that doesnt require much work but it's tough to control the amount of whitespace between the images, especially when the images are all different proportions.
2. Arrange still images both horizontally and vertically in the timeline, so that there is no white space between the images (the images overlap across multiple video lanes). Then, set up motion fx for the position of the image for each clip. This is tedious and I have to make every clip the same size and make sure the distance each clip travels (in the motion fx) is the same. So for instance, I have to set the starting key to 1200 on the x-axis, and the ending key to -300, for every single image (tedious when there are many). Another problem with this is that it becomes very difficult to change the duration of the motion fx once ive set it up for many.
3. To have an easier time composing the arrangement of images, I just make a single giant image by laying out dozens of photos in InDesign, then export a very wide jpeg. The great thing about this is it's fast, easy, and the composition is exactly how i want it. The bad thing is that premiere doesn't handle many megapixel images well, and furthermore the image quality is horrific compared to the quality of importing individual images.
The biggest problem with all of these is the image quality (extremely poor compared to viewing the source images on their own) and the animation smoothness (all three methods produce very jittery and erratic videos). The biggest question I have is: should I even be doing a slideshow in Premiere? Can someone recommend a better application I should be using for something like this? Do i have to learn Flash? I am not trying to make an interactive thing, just a video/animation where I hit play and dozens of images scroll horizontally, at the same speed, with a lot of control over the scaling of the images and their horizontal and vertical arrangement (the amount of whitespace between them).
Thanks for everyone's time and help!

Don't know if it is still being sold, but Grass Valley's Imaginate was the perfect application for your intended purpose. There are many others as well, but PR is not the program of choice for this.

Help with code for inserting horizontal scroll bar in photo gallery in Business Catalyst site?

Hi,
I am using Business Catalyst and Dreamweaver to create a trial site.
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this request but anyway I have inserted a photo gallery module at the bottom of the sidebar in the homepage of my test site.
Can anyone advise on whether jquery or any other code can be inserted into the page or module code that will replace the "next" hyperlink below the first 4 photos with a horizontal scroll bar at bottom of the gallery so users can just scroll through all 12 images ?
Kind Regards, Matt.
http://craftime-bs6.businesscatalyst.com/

Alyssa,
Have you tried putting this rule back as it was originally:
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    left: auto; /*was 9px*/
    color: #EF9CCF;
    background-color: #FFF;
That is, changing your 9px back to auto.
And giving us a link (as you did) is much better than printing out the code for us! Thanks!
Beth

Why isn't the scroll wheel working properly with Firefox 4?

I have a new Windows 7 PC at work with Firefox 4 on it. The scroll wheel on my mouse is not working right. It will work if I use Internet Explorer but I have trouble getting it to work with Firefox. Usually what I have to do is click the wheel to get that mode of scrolling where you move the mouse up and down to scroll the screen and that will work. And then when I click the wheel again to get out of that mode, my scroll wheel will work as expected. But I don't want to have to do that all the time. And sometimes that trick doesn't work. The scroll wheel is working fine with MS Excel and Lotus Notes and Internet Explorer, etc, so it seems to be something the new Firefox has an issue with.

I fixed my problem! I was messing around in msconfig to turn off Lync from my Startup list and noticed something called Mouse Suite 98 was in my Startup. I did a quick google check and learned I could remove it without doing any harm. And voila! My scrollwheel is working properly with Firefox, finally! Hope this helps someone out there.

Problem with Horizontal Scroll on java.awt.List
