[Pro] horizontal scrolling problems
Hello!
I’m quite new to freeway and i’m attempting to create a horizontal scrolling website, which is basically one extra long page. I came across two problems:
- I would like to jump to each section via anchors but the alignment of the anchor is on the right side of the page. Is there a way to modify that to the left side?
- I want to use the smooth scrolling action for the anchors but it doesn’t seem to work for horizontal scrolling. any way around that?
for example i would like it to work like this: http://deanoakley.com/
Thank you!!

13 Apr 2012, 3:12 pmThe site you link to uses a jQuery based script for its horizontal scroll. Smooth scroll as you have discovered doesn’t do sideways.
Horizontal Tiny Scrolling - a smooth scrolling script for horizontal websites (the brother of the vertical “Tiny Scrolling”) by Marco Rosella - http://www.centralscrutinizer.it/en/design/js-php/horizontal-tiny-scrolling
Remember that jQuery and the FW native actions which are script/protaculous based dont play well together so best not to use them on the same page.

You could get a similar effect using Carousel
