Prevent scrolling of parent element when inner element scroll position reaches top/bottom? [duplicate]

Answer 1

EDIT: CodePen example

For AngularJS, I defined the following directive:

module.directive('isolateScrolling', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
      link: function (scope, element, attr) {
        element.bind('DOMMouseScroll', function (e) {
          if (e.detail > 0 && this.clientHeight + this.scrollTop == this.scrollHeight) {
            this.scrollTop = this.scrollHeight - this.clientHeight;
            e.stopPropagation();
            e.preventDefault();
            return false;
          }
          else if (e.detail < 0 && this.scrollTop <= 0) {
            this.scrollTop = 0;
            e.stopPropagation();
            e.preventDefault();
            return false;
          }
        });
        element.bind('mousewheel', function (e) {
          if (e.deltaY > 0 && this.clientHeight + this.scrollTop >= this.scrollHeight) {
            this.scrollTop = this.scrollHeight - this.clientHeight;
            e.stopPropagation();
            e.preventDefault();
            return false;
          }
          else if (e.deltaY < 0 && this.scrollTop <= 0) {
            this.scrollTop = 0;
            e.stopPropagation();
            e.preventDefault();
            return false;
          }

          return true;
        });
      }
  };
});

And then added it to the scrollable element (the dropdown-menu ul):

  Rename 
  

    

      {{s.name}}
    
  

Tested on Chrome and Firefox. Chrome's smooth scrolling defeats this hack when a large mousewheel movement is made near (but not at) the top or bottom of the scroll region.
