Disable Scrolling on Body
Set height
and overflow
:
html, body {margin: 0; height: 100%; overflow: hidden}

Prevent body scrolling but allow overlay scrolling
Theory
Looking at current implementation of the pinterest site (it might change in the future), when you open the overlay a noscroll
class is applied to the body
element and overflow: hidden
is set, thus body
is no longer scrollable.
The overlay (created on-the-fly or already inside the page and made visible via display: block
, it makes no difference) has position : fixed
and overflow-y: scroll
, with top
, left
, right
and bottom
properties set to 0
: this style makes the overlay fill the whole viewport.
The div
inside the overlay is instead just in position: static
then the vertical scrollbar you see is related to that element. As a result the content is scrollable but overlay remains fixed.
When you close the zoom you hide the overlay (via display: none
) and then you could also entirely remove it via javascript (or just the content inside, it's up to you how to inject it).
As a final step you have to also remove the noscroll
class to the body
(so the overflow property returns to its initial value)
Code
Codepen Example
(it works by changing the aria-hidden
attribute of the overlay in order to show and hide it and to increase its accessibility).
Markup
(open button)
<button type="button" class="open-overlay">OPEN LAYER</button>
(overlay and close button)
<section class="overlay" aria-hidden="true">
<div>
<h2>Hello, I'm the overlayer</h2>
...
<button type="button" class="close-overlay">CLOSE LAYER</button>
</div>
</section>
CSS
.noscroll {
overflow: hidden;
}
.overlay {
position: fixed;
overflow-y: scroll;
top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; }
[aria-hidden="true"] { display: none; }
[aria-hidden="false"] { display: block; }
Javascript (vanilla-JS)
var body = document.body,
overlay = document.querySelector('.overlay'),
overlayBtts = document.querySelectorAll('button[class$="overlay"]');
[].forEach.call(overlayBtts, function(btt) {
btt.addEventListener('click', function() {
/* Detect the button class name */
var overlayOpen = this.className === 'open-overlay';
/* Toggle the aria-hidden state on the overlay and the
no-scroll class on the body */
overlay.setAttribute('aria-hidden', !overlayOpen);
body.classList.toggle('noscroll', overlayOpen);
/* On some mobile browser when the overlay was previously
opened and scrolled, if you open it again it doesn't
reset its scrollTop property */
overlay.scrollTop = 0;
}, false);
});
Finally, here's another example in which the overlay opens with a fade-in effect by a CSS transition
applied to the opacity
property. Also a padding-right
is applied to avoid a reflow on the underlying text when the scrollbar disappears.
Codepen Example (fade)
CSS
.noscroll { overflow: hidden; }
@media (min-device-width: 1025px) {
/* not strictly necessary, just an experiment for
this specific example and couldn't be necessary
at all on some browser */
.noscroll {
padding-right: 15px;
}
}
.overlay {
position: fixed;
overflow-y: scroll;
top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
}
[aria-hidden="true"] {
transition: opacity 1s, z-index 0s 1s;
width: 100vw;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0;
}
[aria-hidden="false"] {
transition: opacity 1s;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1;
opacity: 1;
}
css disable scrolling in div
I am not sure what you are asking, do you mean something like this
.right {
height:100vh;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.left {
overflow:hidden;
}
you need to define the height (so its less than contents) for the scroll function to kick in otherwise it just takes up 100% and ignores the overflow css
disable scrolling on specific page
If you wanted to set a style on body
, you can just run the below code on the page, which will disable scrolling.
document.body.style.overflow='hidden'
Then to re-enable:
document.body.style.overflow='auto'
Only downside is that is isn't very React-like.
How to programmatically disable page scrolling with jQuery
The only way I've found to do this is similar to what you described:
- Grab current scroll position (don't forget horizontal axis!).
- Set overflow to hidden (probably want to retain previous overflow value).
- Scroll document to stored scroll position with scrollTo().
Then when you're ready to allow scrolling again, undo all that.
Edit: no reason I can't give you the code since I went to the trouble to dig it up...
// lock scroll position, but retain settings for later
var scrollPosition = [
self.pageXOffset || document.documentElement.scrollLeft || document.body.scrollLeft,
self.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop
];
var html = jQuery('html'); // it would make more sense to apply this to body, but IE7 won't have that
html.data('scroll-position', scrollPosition);
html.data('previous-overflow', html.css('overflow'));
html.css('overflow', 'hidden');
window.scrollTo(scrollPosition[0], scrollPosition[1]);
// un-lock scroll position
var html = jQuery('html');
var scrollPosition = html.data('scroll-position');
html.css('overflow', html.data('previous-overflow'));
window.scrollTo(scrollPosition[0], scrollPosition[1])
How to disable scrolling temporarily?
The scroll
event cannot be canceled. But you can do it by canceling these interaction events:
Mouse & Touch scroll and Buttons associated with scrolling.
[Working demo]
// left: 37, up: 38, right: 39, down: 40,
// spacebar: 32, pageup: 33, pagedown: 34, end: 35, home: 36
var keys = {37: 1, 38: 1, 39: 1, 40: 1};
function preventDefault(e) {
e.preventDefault();
}
function preventDefaultForScrollKeys(e) {
if (keys[e.keyCode]) {
preventDefault(e);
return false;
}
}
// modern Chrome requires { passive: false } when adding event
var supportsPassive = false;
try {
window.addEventListener("test", null, Object.defineProperty({}, 'passive', {
get: function () { supportsPassive = true; }
}));
} catch(e) {}
var wheelOpt = supportsPassive ? { passive: false } : false;
var wheelEvent = 'onwheel' in document.createElement('div') ? 'wheel' : 'mousewheel';
// call this to Disable
function disableScroll() {
window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', preventDefault, false); // older FF
window.addEventListener(wheelEvent, preventDefault, wheelOpt); // modern desktop
window.addEventListener('touchmove', preventDefault, wheelOpt); // mobile
window.addEventListener('keydown', preventDefaultForScrollKeys, false);
}
// call this to Enable
function enableScroll() {
window.removeEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', preventDefault, false);
window.removeEventListener(wheelEvent, preventDefault, wheelOpt);
window.removeEventListener('touchmove', preventDefault, wheelOpt);
window.removeEventListener('keydown', preventDefaultForScrollKeys, false);
}
UPDATE: fixed Chrome desktop and modern mobile browsers with passive listeners
How to disable scroll without hiding it?
If the page under the overlayer can be "fixed" at the top, when you open the overlay you can set
body { position: fixed; overflow-y:scroll }
you should still see the right scrollbar but the content is not scrollable. When you close the overlay just revert these properties with
body { position: static; overflow-y:auto }
I just proposed this way only because you wouldn't need to change any scroll event
Update
You could also do a slight improvement: if you get the document.documentElement.scrollTop
property via javascript just before the layer opening, you could dynamically assign that value as top
property of the body element: with this approach the page will stand in its place, no matter if you're on top or if you have already scrolled.
Css
.noscroll { position: fixed; overflow-y:scroll }
JS
$('body').css('top', -(document.documentElement.scrollTop) + 'px')
.addClass('noscroll');
