iOS Safari How to disable overscroll but allow scrollable divs to scroll normally

Question

I m working on an iPad-based web app  and need to prevent overscrolling so that it seems less like a web page  I m currently using this to freeze the viewport and disable overscroll   document body addEventListener  touchmove  function e         e preventDefault            This works great to disable overscroll but my app has several scrollable divs  and the above code prevents them from scrolling   I m targeting iOS 5 and above only so I ve avoided hacky solutions like iScroll  Instead I m using this CSS for my scrollable divs    scrollable       -webkit-overflow-scrolling  touch      overflow-y auto      This works without the document overscroll script  but doesn t solve the div scrolling problem   Without a jQuery plugin  is there any way to use the overscroll fix but exempt my     scrollable   divs   EDIT   I found something that s a decent solution       Disable overscroll   viewport moving on everything but scrollable divs     body   on  touchmove   function  e             if       scrollable   has   e target   length  e preventDefault           The viewport still moves when you scroll past the beginning or end of the div  I d like to find a way to disable that as well

I had surprising luck with with simple   body       height  100vh      It works great to disable overscroll for pop-ups or menus and it doesn t force browser bars to appear like when using position fixed  BUT - you need to save scroll position before setting fixed height and restore it when hiding the pop-up  otherwise  browser will scroll to top

Best solution to this is css html  Make a div to wrap your elements in  if you dont have it already And set it to position fixed and overflow hidden  Optional  set height and width to 100  if you want it to fill the whole screen and nothing but the whole screen   x000D   x000D   wrapper  x000D    height  100   x000D    width  100   x000D    position  fixed  x000D    overflow  hidden  x000D    x000D   lt div id  wrapper  gt  x000D     lt p gt All lt  p gt  x000D     lt p gt Your lt  p gt  x000D     lt p gt Elements lt  p gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Using Tyler Dodge s excellent answer kept lagging on my iPad  so I added some throttling code  now it s quite smooth   There is some minimal skipping sometimes while scrolling      Uses document because document will be topmost level in bubbling   document  on  touchmove  function e     e preventDefault         var scrolling   false      Uses body because jquery on events are called off of the element they are    added to  so bubbling would not work if we used document instead     body   on  touchstart    scrollable  function e            Only execute the below code once at a time     if   scrolling            scrolling   true             if  e currentTarget scrollTop     0              e currentTarget scrollTop   1            else if  e currentTarget scrollHeight     e currentTarget scrollTop   e currentTarget offsetHeight              e currentTarget scrollTop -  1                    scrolling   false                Prevents preventDefault from being called on document if it sees a scrollable div    body   on  touchmove    scrollable  function e      e stopPropagation          Also  adding the following CSS fixes some rendering glitches  source     scrollable       overflow  auto      overflow-x  hidden      -webkit-overflow-scrolling  touch     scrollable         -webkit-transform  translate3d 0 0 0

While disabling all  touchmove  events might seem like a good idea  as soon as you need other scrollable elements on the page it will cause problems  On top of that  if you only disable  touchmove  events on certain elements  e g  body if you want the page to be non-scrollable   as soon as it is enabled anywhere else  IOS will cause unstoppable propagation in Chrome when the URL bar toggles    While I cannot explain this behavior  it looks like the only way to prevent seems to set the body s position to fixed  The only problem doing is that you will lose the position of the document - this is especially annoying in modals for example  One way to solve it would be to use these simple VanillaJS functions   function disableDocumentScrolling         if  document documentElement style position     fixed                Get the top vertical offset          var topVerticalOffset    typeof window pageYOffset     undefined                 window pageYOffset    document documentElement scrollTop                document documentElement scrollTop   0              Set the document to fixed position  this is the only way around IOS  overscroll  feature            document documentElement style position    fixed              Set back the offset position by user negative margin on the fixed document          document documentElement style marginTop    -    topVerticalOffset    px            function enableDocumentScrolling         if  document documentElement style position     fixed                Remove the fixed position on the document          document documentElement style position   null             Calculate back the original position of the non-fixed document          var scrollPosition   -1   parseFloat document documentElement style marginTop              Remove fixed document negative margin          document documentElement style marginTop   null             Scroll to the original position of the non-fixed document          window scrollTo 0  scrollPosition             Using this solution you can have a fixed document and any other element in your page can overflow by using simple CSS  e g   overflow  scroll    No need for special classes or anything else

This solves the issue when you scroll past the beginning or end of the div  var selScrollable     scrollable      Uses document because document will be topmost level in bubbling   document  on  touchmove  function e     e preventDefault           Uses body because jQuery on events are called off of the element they are    added to  so bubbling would not work if we used document instead     body   on  touchstart   selScrollable  function e      if  e currentTarget scrollTop     0        e currentTarget scrollTop   1      else if  e currentTarget scrollHeight     e currentTarget scrollTop   e currentTarget offsetHeight        e currentTarget scrollTop -  1             Stops preventDefault from being called on document if it sees a scrollable div    body   on  touchmove   selScrollable  function e      e stopPropagation          Note that this won t work if you want to block whole page scrolling when a div does not have overflow  To block that  use the following event handler instead of the one immediately above  adapted from this question       body   on  touchmove   selScrollable  function e           Only block default if internal div contents are large enough to scroll        Warning  scrollHeight support is not universal   https   stackoverflow com a 15033226 40352      if   this  0  scrollHeight  gt    this  innerHeight              e stopPropagation

First prevent default actions on your entire document as usual     document  bind  touchmove   function e     e preventDefault                     Then stop your class of elements from propagating to the document level  This stops it from reaching the function above and thus e preventDefault   is not initiated       scrollable   bind  touchmove   function e     e stopPropagation          This system seems to be more natural and less intensive than calculating the class on all touch moves  Use  on   rather than  bind   for dynamically generated elements   Also consider these meta tags to prevent unfortunate things from happening while using your scrollable div    lt meta content  True  name  HandheldFriendly    gt   lt meta content  width device-width  initial-scale 1  maximum-scale 1  user-scalable 0  name  viewport    gt   lt meta name  viewport  content  width device-width    gt

This solution doesn t require you to put a scrollable class on all your scrollable divs so is more general  Scrolling is allowed on all elements which are  or are children of  INPUT elements contenteditables and overflow scroll or autos    I use a custom selector and I also cache the result of the check in the element  to improve performance  No need to check the same element every time  This may have a few issues as only just written but thought I d share     expr      scrollable   function obj        var  el     obj       var tagName    el prop  tagName        return  tagName      BODY   amp  amp  tagName      HTML    amp  amp   tagName      INPUT      el is   contentEditable  true         el css  overflow   match  auto scroll        function preventBodyScroll         function isScrollAllowed  target            if   target data  isScrollAllowed       undefined                return  target data  isScrollAllowed                      var scrollAllowed    target closest   scrollable   length  gt  0           target data  isScrollAllowed  scrollAllowed           return scrollAllowed               body   bind  touchmove   function  ev            if   isScrollAllowed   ev target                  ev preventDefault

Check if the scrollable element is already scrolled to the top when trying to scroll up or to the bottom when trying to scroll down and then preventing the default action to stop the entire page from moving   var touchStartEvent      scrollable   on       touchstart  function e            touchStartEvent   e             touchmove  function e            if   e originalEvent pageY  gt  touchStartEvent originalEvent pageY  amp  amp  this scrollTop    0                  e originalEvent pageY  lt  touchStartEvent originalEvent pageY  amp  amp  this scrollTop   this offsetHeight  gt   this scrollHeight               e preventDefault

I was looking for a way to prevent all body scrolling when there s a popup with a scrollable area  a  shopping cart  popdown that has a scrollable view of your cart    I wrote a far more elegant solution using minimal javascript to just toggle the class  noscroll  on your body when you have a popup or div that you d like to scroll  and not  overscroll  the whole page body    while desktop browsers observe overflow hidden -- iOS seems to ignore that unless you set the position to fixed    which causes the whole page to be a strange width  so you have to set the position and width manually as well  use this css    noscroll       overflow  hidden      position  fixed      top  0      left  0      width  100       and this jquery      fade in out cart popup  add remove  noscroll from body       a cart   click function            nav  gt  ul cart   fadeToggle 100   linear        if     nav  gt  ul cart   is   visible                 body   toggleClass  noscroll          else              body   removeClass  noscroll                  close all popup menus when you click the page          body   click function             nav  gt  ul   fadeOut 100   linear           body   removeClass  noscroll                but prevent clicks in the popup from closing the popup       nav  gt  ul   click function event       event stopPropagation

Can you just add a little more logic into your overscroll disabling code to make sure the targeted element in question is not one that you would like to scroll   Something like this   document body addEventListener  touchmove  function e        if    e target  hasClass  scrollable             e preventDefault
