Answer 1

I was looking out for a solution to this problem but was not satisfied with the any of the above solutions (as of writing this answer), so I came up with this solution..

CSS

.scrollDisabled {   
    position: fixed;
    margin-top: 0;// override by JS to use acc to curr $(window).scrollTop()
    width: 100%;
}

JS

var y_offsetWhenScrollDisabled=0;

function disableScrollOnBody(){
    y_offsetWhenScrollDisabled= $(window).scrollTop();
    $('body').addClass('scrollDisabled').css('margin-top', -y_offsetWhenScrollDisabled);
}
function enableScrollOnBody(){
    $('body').removeClass('scrollDisabled').css('margin-top', 0);
    $(window).scrollTop(y_offsetWhenScrollDisabled);
}
