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.

...OH!!! that's COOL!!!

is it possible to disable the whole page other than the div itself?

Yes, you can see an example here.
