How to disable scrolling temporarily?

Question

I\'m using the scrollTo jQuery plugin and would like to know if it is somehow possible to temporarily disable scrolling on the window element through Javascript? The reason

Answer 1

The simplest method is:

$("body").css("overflow", "hidden"); // Remove the scroll bar temporarily

To undo it:

$("body").css("overflow", "auto");

Easy to implement, but the only downside is:

• The page will jump a bit to the left if it is center-aligned (horizontally).

This is due to the scroll bar being removed, and the viewport becoming a bit wider.
