How can I temporarily disable vertical scrollbar?

How can I temporarily disable vertical scrollbar?

I have replaced confirmation boxes and alert boxes with inlay popup DIVs. But while they are on the screen, I need to disable scrollbar of the page so that user may not access the main page (just like in conformation boxes).

Also I need to disable the main page leaving that popup DIV.

Scrollbar is the main issue.

How can I do it?

Instead of disabling the scrollbar, use position:fixed to keep the div at the same position on the page.
