JavaScript - Cancel Scroll event

Question

I want to disable the scroll in one of my pages. I don't want to write

scroll(0,0) or scrollTo(0,0)

in the scroll event which will give a 'jumpy' nature. Can't I have something like

event.preventDefault()

for canceling the event?

Answer 1

document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';

Answer 2

The only acceptable way of preventing scrolling is making the content fit inside the window. Anything else, and you're pissing users off.

You can also use position: fixed CSS - but still, if it's larger than the window, the rest is unusable, so you might as well follow the suggestion #1.
