Solution 1 :

There is few issue in your code:

  • ele = $('html,body'); should be the element that you intends to scroll, not the document <body> or <html>, e.g in your case is <div id="scroll">...
  • you have to use .scrollLeft() not scrollTop() since you are scrolling left and right, not top, down.

I believe this is what you want

var ele = $('#scroll');
var speed = 10,
  scroll = 3,
  scrolling;
 

$('#up').mouseenter(function() {
  //scroll the element up
  scrolling = window.setInterval(function() {
    scroll += 0.5;
    ele.scrollLeft(ele.scrollLeft() - scroll);
  }, speed);
  
}).mouseleave(function(){
  window.clearInterval(scrolling);
  scroll = 3;
})

$('#down').mouseenter(function() {
  //scroll the element down
  scrolling = window.setInterval(function() {
    scroll += 0.5;
    ele.scrollLeft(ele.scrollLeft() + scroll);
  }, speed);
})
.mouseleave(function(){
  window.clearInterval(scrolling);
  scroll = 3;
})
.control {
  width: 100%;
  position: fixed;
  text-align: center
}

#up.control {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0
}

#down.control {
  position: fixed;
  top: 20
}


/* no needed: */

#scroll {
  overflow-x: scroll;
  width: 500px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden!imprtant;
}

Problem :

I tried to scroll on mouseover using jQuery (jquery-1.7.1.min.js) but unable to scroll. below is my code.

var ele = $('html,body');
var speed = 1,
  scroll = 3,
  scrolling;

$('#up').mouseenter(function() {
  //scroll the element up
  scrolling = window.setInterval(function() {
    ele.scrollTop(ele.scrollTop() - scroll);
  }, speed);
});

$('#down').mouseenter(function() {
  //scroll the element down
  scrolling = window.setInterval(function() {
    ele.scrollTop(ele.scrollTop() + scroll);
  }, speed);
});

$('#up, #down').bind({
  click: function(e) {
    //stop scrolling
    if (scrolling) {
      //prevents the default click action
      e.preventDefault();
    }
  },
  mouseleave: function() {
    if (scrolling) {
      window.clearInterval(scrolling);
      scrolling = false;
    }
  }
});
.control {
  width: 100%;
  position: fixed;
  text-align: center
}

#up.control {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0
}

#down.control {
  position: fixed;
  top: 20
}

#scroll {

}

</div>

<a href="#" id="up" class="control">left</a>
<a href="#" id="down" class="control">right</a>

onmouse over on left and right need to scroll text from left to right and left to right but It’s not working using jQuery.
