Disable browsers vertical and horizontal scrollbars

Question

Is it possible to disable the browsers vertical and horizontal scrollbars using jQuery or javascript?

Answer 1

So far we have overflow:hidden on the body. However IE doesn't always honor that and you need to put scroll="no" on the body element as well and/or place overflow:hidden on the html element as well.

You can take this further when you need to 'take control' of the view port you can do this:-

An element granted height 100% in the body has the full height of the window viewport, and element positioned absolutely using bottom:nnPX will be set nn pixels above the bottom edge of the window, etc.
