Adding a vertically scrollable item inside a horizontal carousel

A flexbox solution

  • Each item is 33.33% wide and 100px high. The items inside .multiple are also 100px high.
  • .multiple has position: relative and overflow-y: auto. The items inside have position: absolute.
  • Hint: Container -> position: relative, items inside -> position: absolute. That's how it works.
  • top: (100 * n)px for each <div> inside .item.multiple. n is the index of the <div> inside .item.multiple, starting with 0.

The HTML structure has been changed

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  margin: 0;
}

.carousel {
  display: flex;
  width: 100vw;
  overflow-x: auto;
  color: white;
}

.carousel>.item {
  flex: 1 0 33.33%;
  //margin-right: 5px;
}

.carousel>.item:nth-child(odd) {
  background: black;
}

.carousel>.item:nth-child(even) {
  background: darkgrey;
}

.carousel>.item,
.carousel>.item.multiple>div {
  height: 100px;
}

.carousel>.item.multiple {
  position: relative;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

.carousel>.item.multiple>div {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
}

.carousel>.item.multiple>div:nth-child(2) {
  top: 100px;
}

.carousel>.item.multiple>div:nth-child(3) {
  top: 200px;
}


/* And so on ... 
.carousel>.item.multiple>div:nth-child(...) {}
*/
<div class="carousel">
  <div class="item">
    <div>Item-1</div>
  </div>
  <div class="item multiple">
    <div>Item-1.1</div>
    <div>Item-1.2</div>
    <div>Item-1.3</div>
  </div>
  <div class="item">
    <div>Item-2</div>
  </div>
  <div class="item multiple">
    <div>Item-2.1</div>
    <div>Item-2.2</div>
    <div>Item-2.3</div>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="other">
  Other div
</div>
