Scroll 2 scrollbars with jquery the same time

Question

Is it possible to scroll 2 scrollbars with one scrollbar?

Answer 1

All you need to do it tie the scrollTop property of one element to the scrollTop of the other, using a function tied to the scroll event.

Something along the lines of:

$('.linked').scroll(function(){
    $('.linked').scrollTop($(this).scrollTop());    
})

With that function, all elements with a class of linked will scroll whenever you use the scrollbars of one of them. (I assumed vertical scrolling, if you wanted horizontal, do the same but with scrollLeft)

See http://jsfiddle.net/g8Krz/510/ for a working example of the above.
