Lock and unlock a page's scroll position.

jquery.scrollLock.js

Useful for when a blocking user experience is needed (in my case, didn't want people unwittingly loosing their place by scrolling while a modal required their attention): $.scrollLock() locks the body in place, preventing scroll until it is unlocked.

// Locks the page if it's currently unlocked
$.scrollLock();

// ...or vice versa

styleProp = styleProp.replace(/([A-Z])/g, "-$1").toLowerCase();
return defaultView.getComputedStyle(el, null).getPropertyValue(styleProp);
} else if (el.currentStyle) { // IE
// sanitize property name to camelCase
styleProp = styleProp.replace(/\-(\w)/g, function(str, letter) {
