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

I couldn't get any of the answers to work in Chrome and Firefox, so I came up with this amalgamation:

$someElement.on('mousewheel DOMMouseScroll', scrollProtection);

function scrollProtection(event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    event = event.originalEvent;
    var direction = (event.wheelDelta * -1) || (event.detail);
    if (direction < 0) {
        if ($this.scrollTop() <= 0) {
            return false;
        }
    } else {
        if ($this.scrollTop() + $this.innerHeight() >= $this[0].scrollHeight) {
            return false;
        }
    }
}
