Trackpad Scroll Emulator

How the "Trackpad Scroll Emulator" works is pretty simple.

When the user hovers his mouse over a scrollable element, a small bar appears to the side or bottom (instead of the clunky browser default scroll bars) signalizing the possibility to scroll the element in one direction or the other.

The user can then utilize his mouse to scroll via a classic drag&drop action of the scroll bar, or just by scrolling his mouse wheel.

A demo is included with the download package.

The Trackpad Scroll Emulator is heavily inspired by the Rdio app and the Mac OS X Lion trackpad scrolling experience.

Requirements:

• JavaScript enabled on client side
• jQuery
