Create Scrollable Container With Custom Scrollbar - scrollPanel

scrollPanel is a jQuery plugin (~2kb minified) that transforms a DIV container into a scrollable panel where you can customize the scrollbar using your own CSS rules.

How to use it:

1. Download and import the jquery-scrollpanel.js script after jQuery.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-tsQFqpEReu7ZLhBV2VZlAu7zcOV+rXbYlF2cqB8txI/8aZajjp4Bqd+V6D5IgvKT" 
        crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>
<script src="dist/jquery-scrollpanel.js"></script>

2. To enable the mousewheel on the scrllable panel, import the latest jQuery mouse wheel plugin in the document.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-mousewheel/3.1.13/jquery.mousewheel.min.js"></script>

3. Attach the function to the target container.

<div class="scrollpanel">
  Any content here
</div>

$(".scrollpanel").scrollpanel();

4. This will transform the DIV container into a scrollable panel:

<div class="scrollpanel">

  <div class="sp-viewport">
    <div class="sp-container">
      Any content here
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="sp-scrollbar">
    <div class="sp-thumb"></div>
  </div>
  
</div>

5. Customize the scrollbar in the CSS:

.scrollpanel .sp-scrollbar {
  width: 10px;
  background-color: #ccc;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.scrollpanel .sp-scrollbar .sp-thumb {
  background-color: #aaa;
  transition: height 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

.scrollpanel .sp-scrollbar.active .sp-thumb {
  background-color: #999;
}

6. Customize the CSS prefix.

$(".scrollpanel").scrollpanel({
  prefix: 'sp-'
});
