JavaScript element.scrollLeft Property

The element.scrollLeft property gets or sets the number of pixels an element's content is scrolled horizontally.

Note: If the element's direction is rtl (right-to-left), then scrollLeft is 0 when the scrollbar is at its rightmost position, and then increasingly negative as you scroll towards the end of the content.
