The jQuery selector finds particular DOM element(s) and wraps them with jQuery object. For example, document. getElementById() in the JavaScript will return DOM object whereas $('#id') will return jQuery object.
The Document Object Model (DOM) elements are something like a DIV, HTML, BODY element on the HTML page. A jQuery Selector is used to select one or more HTML elements using jQuery. Mostly we use Selectors for accessing the DOM elements.
$(document. body) is using the global reference document to get a reference to the body , whereas $('body') is a selector in which jQuery will get the reference to the <body> element on the document .
To get HTML content of an element using jQuery, use the html() method. The html() method gets the html contents of the first matched element.
Try this...
$('body,html').css('overflow','hidden');
the ,html allows you to also include the <html> because some browsers may use that as the base as oppose to the <body> tag so it helps treating both as if they were one.

any tag should be selected like so $('a'); or $('body');
an element can be selected by id using the prefix # so
<a id="c_1" >CLick Me</a>
$('#c_1');
or by class with the prefix .
<a class="classname">Click Me</a>
$('.classname');
for more information read http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/ as for the scroll bars they are controlled by css, you could simply go on a css file and do the following.
body, html {overflow: hidden;}
the overflow parameter allows you to control what happens when content overflow the assigned width and hight.

or the proper reference http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html
sorry if this is too technical, but one day you would have to learn about these :)

You can get the body element with: $("body")
then disable the scrollbars with CSS
$("body").css("overflow", "hidden");
Since nobody mentioned this, it's pretty easy to select the body element without jQuery.
It's simply:
document.body;
And based on your question, you would disable vertical scrolling by setting overflow: hidden:
Example Here
document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
