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
$.scrollLock();
// Locks the page
$.scrollLock( true );
// Unlocks the page
$.scrollLock( false );
Thank you, worked flawlessly. I needed to modify from scroll to hidden and feared having to tinker, but you had clearly prepared for that scenario. Very much appreciated.
