I\'m facing a problem where the page is scrolling to the top whenever I add my .noscroll
class to the body. This way the scrollbar is still visible but greyed out w
Taking a quick look at how facebook does it, it's something like this:
<body>
<div class="main" style="position: fixed; top: -400px"></div>
<div class="overlay" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%"></div>
</body>
Sorry for the inline styles. You need to programmatically set the main div
's top
style to your scroll position.
I believe this is what you are looking for.
Hope you enjoy this fiddle. I took the one you referenced at the end of your question and re-worked it the way you wanted.
I happened to have done something similar to this on my site but I never restricted the scrolling underneath until now.
$(document).ready(function () {
var offsetY = window.pageYOffset,
$body = $('body'),
$win = $(window),
$close = $('.close'),
$open = $('.open'),
$holder = $('#popupholder'),
$stuff = $('#stuff');
// Close with 'esc' key
$(document).keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 27) $close.trigger('click');
});
$open.click(function () {
offsetY = window.pageYOffset;
// Block scrolling
$body.css({
'position': 'fixed',
'color': '#FFFF00',
'backgroundColor': '#00D',
'top': -offsetY + 'px'
});
// Show popup
$holder.css('display', 'block');
});
$close.click(function () {
// Allow scrolling again
$body.css({
'position': 'static',
'color': '',
'backgroundColor': ''
});
/**
* Remove the following scrollTop()'s if you want.
* just a UI tweak that the user would expect.
**/
// Make the page stay at the position it was at before the overlay
$win.scrollTop(offsetY);
// Reset the overlay scroll position to the top
$stuff.scrollTop(0);
// Hide popup
$holder.css('display', 'none');
});
});
#popupholder {
max-height: none;
position: fixed;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75);
display: none;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
#wrap {
max-height: none;
position: fixed;
overflow: hidden;
top: 60px;
right: 60px;
left: 60px;
bottom: 60px;
background-color: rgba(155, 155, 134, 0.5);
display: block;
}
#stuff {
max-height: 100%;
position: absolute;
overflow-y: scroll;
top: 0;
/* If you want the scrollbar inside the overlay to show up, set right: 0; */
right: -20px;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding: 10px;
}
(abridged version)
<div id="popupholder">
<div id="wrap">
<div id="stuff">
<button class="close">Close me</button>
<p> Inside information </p>
<button class="close">Close me</button>
</div>
</div>
<button class="open">Popup</button>
