Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The -ms-scroll-chaining CSS property is a Microsoft extension that specifies the scrolling behavior that occurs when a user hits the scroll limit during a manipulation.
| Initial value | chained |
|---|---|
| Applies to | non-replaced block-level elements and non-replaced inline-block elements |
| Inherited | no |
| Computed value | as specified |
| Animation type | discrete |
Syntax
Values
chained-
Initial value. The nearest scrollable parent element begins scrolling when the user hits a scroll limit during any manipulation. No bounce effect is shown.
none-
A bounce effect is shown when the user hits a scroll limit during any manipulation.
Formal syntax
chained | none
Examples
The following example illustrates the -ms-scroll-chaining property in use. In this case the image container has its -ms-scroll-chaining property set to chained, which means that when a user is scrolling through a nested scrollable element and it hits its boundary the parent scrollable element will begin to scroll in the same direction. Had the -ms-scroll-chaining property been set to none, the user would observe a bounce effect when the nested element reaches its boundary. For more information, see HTML scrolling, panning and zooming sample or Internet Explorer 10 Scrolling, panning, and zooming with touch.
.imageContainer {
-ms-scroll-chaining: chained;
-ms-overflow-style: none;
-ms-content-zooming: zoom;
-ms-scroll-rails: none;
-ms-content-zoom-limit-min: 100%;
-ms-content-zoom-limit-max: 500%;
-ms-scroll-snap-type: proximity;
-ms-scroll-snap-points-x: snapList(100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%);
-ms-overflow-style: none;
width: 480px;
height: 270px;
overflow: auto;
}
Specifications
Not part of any specification.
Remarks
This property only applies to touch and touchpad input. For keyboard input the scroll does not chain regardless of the –ms-scroll-chaining value, and for mouse input the scroll will always chain up to the nearest scrollable ancestor element.
This property has no effect on non-scrollable elements.
This property requires Windows 8 or later.
