Re: Horizontal scrolling & reflow

Hi Wayne,

For most people using a phone, they work fine assuming you know there is horizontal scrolling. On the phone you can swipe horizontally to scroll that section.

Personally, I think it’s harder to have sections that have independent scrolling in the same direction as page scrolling (e.g. iframes or maps), they catch me out every time.

There are other considerations (e.g. screenreader usage), but if the visual design makes it clear, I haven’t found it problematic in itself.

Cheers,

Hi Everyone,
I always try to think how these scenarios would play out on a mobile phone. The presentation is usually linear. So, there would be bands of content that were either entirely vertical or entirely horizontal. Has anyone looked at these cases on a phone?
