scrollLeft() doesn't work in Android browser

[dr.lofstrand@…]

scrollLeft() doesn't scroll in Android. You can get the value and it actually updates if you change it, but the element it self doesn't scroll. I even tried your example-page in the api section and the result is the same. It works in IE, Chrome, FF, iPhone and iPad but not in Android. I've tried it on SGS2 and SGS3 (default browsers).

jQuery versions I've tried: 1.7.0, 1.7.1 and 1.8.2

Hey there, I had the same Issue. Got it solved by removing this from my code:

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); });

Maybe it helps you, too.

I can confirm this with Android 4.0.4. It exactly behaves like OP described.

Removing this and any other touch-event-related code doesn't help.

The pure Javascript property scrollLeft behaves like that too on Android 4.0.4

We can't fix this, but we've reported it up to Android: ​http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38505&thanks=38505&ts=1350315570
