Enable/Disable Scrolling in iPhone/iPad’s Safari
Today working on mobile theme for one portal I was needed to prevent scrolling of the screen when the popup window is opened.
After some googling I found the good and simple solution of this issue.
To prevent user from scrolling the screen you need to redefine touch move event
document.ontouchmove = function(e){ e.preventDefault(); }Then if you need to enable screen scrolling you need to make a little tricky
document.ontouchmove = function(e){ return true; }That works for me, and I like it.
