Why should scrollable elements be large enough?
A scrollable element should be large enough for touch enabled devices to be able to scroll. In fact, inline scroll areas should be avoided on mobile websites.
If they can’t be avoided, they should be large enough to scroll. An inline scroll area is a tap target and should be large enough, just like all tap targets.
What are the requirements?
The minimum size for an inline scrollable area should be at least 48px by 48px for a mobile-friendly website.
