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

this disables the scrolling on the window if you enter the selector element. works like charms.

elements = $(".selector");

elements.on('mouseenter', function() {
    window.currentScrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
    window.currentScrollLeft = $(window).scrollTop();
    $(window).on("scroll.prevent", function() {
        $(window).scrollTop(window.currentScrollTop);
        $(window).scrollLeft(window.currentScrollLeft);
    });
});

elements.on('mouseleave', function() {
    $(window).off("scroll.prevent");
});
