How to programmatically disable page scrolling with jQuery

Question

Using jQuery, I would like to disable scrolling of the body:

My idea is to:

1. Set body{ overflow: hidden;}
2. Capture the current

This is what I ended up doing:

CoffeeScript:

    $("input").focus ->
        $("html, body").css "overflow-y","hidden"
        $(document).on "scroll.stopped touchmove.stopped mousewheel.stopped", (event) ->
            event.preventDefault()

    $("input").blur ->
        $("html, body").css "overflow-y","auto"
        $(document).off "scroll.stopped touchmove.stopped mousewheel.stopped"

Javascript:

$("input").focus(function() {
 $("html, body").css("overflow-y", "hidden");
 $(document).on("scroll.stopped touchmove.stopped mousewheel.stopped", function(event) {
   return event.preventDefault();
 });
});

$("input").blur(function() {
 $("html, body").css("overflow-y", "auto");
 $(document).off("scroll.stopped touchmove.stopped mousewheel.stopped");
});
