Smooth horizontal scroll bound to mousewheel

Question

Here is a working example of horizontal scroll with mousewheel, but it does not scroll smoothly. By smoothly I mean like ordinary vertical scroll in Firefox or Opera.

Try to use your function in conjunction with .animate()

$(function() {
    $("html, body").mousewheel(function(event, delta) {
        var scroll_distance = delta * 30
        this.animate(function(){
           left: "-=" + scroll_distance + "px",
        });
        event.preventDefault();
    });
});

I just actually did this myself and it works. I created an instagram feed on the web application that I created, and the other plugins that I was using were breaking all too often:

$('#add_instagram').on('mousewheel', function(e,d){
    var delta = d*10;
    $('#move_this').animate({
        top: "-=" + delta + "px"
    },3);
    e.preventDefault();
});
