Usage

Trigger Scroll Lock via Markup:

<!-- HTML --> <div data-scrollLock      data-strict='true'      data-selector='.child'      data-animation='{"top":"top locked","bottom":"bottom locked"}'      data-keyboard='{"tabindex":0}'      data-unblock='.inner'>      ... </div>  <!-- JavaScript --> <script type="text/javascript">   $('[data-scrollLock]').scrollLock() </script>

Options

Options Type Default Description
animation object false An object defining CSS class(es) to be applied when top or bottom edge is locked. (see remarks1)
keyboard object false When enabled, keys that causes scrolling will also be locked. (see remarks2)
selector string false When provided, matching descendants will be locked. Useful when dealing with dynamic HTML.
strict boolean false When enabled, only elements passing the strictFn check will be locked.
strictFn function remarks3 This function is responsible for deciding if the element should be locked or not.
touch boolean auto Indicates if an element's lock is enabled on touch screens.
unblock string false When provided, matching descendants scrolling will be unblocked. Useful when having a scrollable element inside a locked one.

Remarks1

This is pure JavaScript plugin, it does not provide any CSS. You need to implement your own!

The animation option has two keys:

{   "top": "top locked",   "bottom": "bottom locked" }

When an edge is locked, the value of both animation.top + animation.bottom will be removed from the locked element's class list.

Then based on the locked edge, the value of animation.top or animation.bottom is added to the class list, and removed once the browser animationend event is fired.

Remarks2

In chrome, The following keys causes a scroll, which may propagate to parent element.

space, pageup, pagedown , end , home, up, down

The keyboard option has one key:

{ "tabindex": 0 }

The tabindex is required to be able to listen to keyboard events on none input elements, such as a div. The side effect of adding a tabindex is the browser highlight when the element is focused.

Which can be avoided via CSS outline property.

.scrollable{ outline:0; }

Remarks3

The default strictFn implementation checks if the element requires a vertical scrollbar.

strictFn = function($element){   return $element.prop('scrollHeight') > $element.prop('clientHeight');  }

In previous versions (≤ v2.1.0), The check was based on scrollbar visibility, In case you require such behavior, include the following in your script:

$.fn.scrollLock.defaults.strictFn = function ($element) {   var clientWidth = $element.prop('clientWidth'),   offsetWidth = $element.prop('offsetWidth'),   borderRightWidth = parseInt($element.css('border-right-width'), 10),   borderLeftWidth = parseInt($element.css('border-left-width'), 10)   return clientWidth + borderLeftWidth + borderRightWidth < offsetWidth }

Methods

Method Description

.scrollLock('disable') Disables an element's Scroll Lock.
.scrollLock('toggleStrict') Toggles an element's strict option.
.scrollLock('destroy') Disables and destroys an element's Scroll Lock.

Events
