Disable browsers vertical and horizontal scrollbars

Question

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

Answer 1

In modern versions of IE (IE10 and above), scrollbars can be hidden using the -ms-overflow-style property.

html {
     -ms-overflow-style: none;
}

In Chrome, scrollbars can be styled:

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

This is very useful if you want to use the 'default' body scrolling in a web application, which is considerably faster than overflow-y: scroll.
