Scrolling child div scrolls the window, how do I stop that?

Question

I have a div, with a scroll bar, When it reaches the end, my page starts scrolling. Is there anyway I can stop this behavior ?

Answer 1

You could use a mouseover event on the div to disable the body scrollbar and then a mouseout event to activate it again?

E.g. The HTML

    content

And then the javascript like so:

var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
function disableBodyScroll() {
    body.style.overflowY = 'hidden';
}
function enableBodyScroll() {
    body.style.overflowY = 'auto';
}
