922881 - Implement scrollable area via device scrolling in value selectors

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Clock, defect)

Description

[Corey Frang [:gnarf]]

In bug 917463 Viven suggested trying to do the scrolling using the natural scrolling of the platform:

> Is there any reasons to not have use the native scrolling which is provided by the 
> platform when the element content is bigger than the container?

and also later in the same bug:

> What about hiding the scrollbars by having each list of numbers beeing a little big 
> bigger than the box that contains them. Them by ordering z-index correcly it may works.
> FWIW I would be fairly happy to fix the current <input type="time"> as well. Right now I 
> have not seen it reach 60 fps because of some repaints issues and I would like it to fix
> it.

It would be worth trying to refactor this to be done this way.

What if we'd like to implement it as carousel as Bug 932099 suggested?

It is probably still worth investigating using the native scroll, but I know I could update the code in timer to roll-over at the ends

Closing for now, as the current design has proven adequate and future redesigns will certainly be implemented as suggested here.
