Is there any way to lock scrollbar?

[jkarpago]

Hi:
I have a javascript that creates a custom scrollbar for a div in the
middle of my page.
The problem is that when I scroll in my div it scrolls the div and the
scroll of the page so I loose the position i want and exists from my
div.

So , what I want is to lock the window scrollbar in the moment I am
over my div, so I can scroll my div without any window movement.

Is this possible?

I think the problem you're having is that you scroll the div using the
mouse wheel, and it makes the window scroll. Correct?

If so, you need to prevent the default action for the scrolling event
(which is to scroll the window).

function scrollDiv( e )
{
.... // your code
if( !e ) e = window.event;

if( e.preventDefault )
e.preventDefault();
else
e.returnValue = false;
}

I think you can solve problem much more easy with css, not javascript.
you can set the height of your div, and the system will creat the
scroll auto when the div need it. and that wouldn't make any proplem
you have met .
as i knew, ie ,firefox, mozilla, netscape and opera can do it perfect,
and no compatible problem in these browsers recent version, but i'm
not sure this set will also usefull on ie3 or some other browsers old
version.
however, if you wanner some special effict on the scroll, you should
take other's advice
