No need to hijack touchstart via JavaScript as this little CSS snippet, preventing the rubber band scrolling (as shown on the left), works just fine:
html,
body {
position: fixed;
overflow: hidden;
}Tested with iOS8, iOS9, and iOS10.
As this snippet disables *all* scrolling on the body, you’ll want to make use of a scrollable wrapper that spans the entire window/screen and which wraps around your entire content. Like so:
.mainwrapper {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
overflow-y: scroll;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}You’ll most likely want to remove the margin and padding from the body too in that case
Note that your mileage may vary. Other pure CSS solutions do exist (untested though)
Not good enough.
Don’t know what you’re talking about this worked fine for me
body, body {}
what does it mean, is it a mistake
A mistake indeed. Should’ve been
html, bodyWorth pointing out that this prevents *any* scrolling when viewed in a browser.
That’s correct. I’ve updated the post to include instructions to using a scrollable wrapper around your content. That way overscroll on the body is prevented, but scrolling of the content is maintained.
Any way to make this work with a site that’s been “Added to Homescreen”?
I can’t seem to find anything :[
While this works fine for a web page in a browser, it doesn’t seem to help with a Cordova hybrid app.. When I run my app, it’s almost like the WebView component itself is scrolling as opposed to something within the “html” element. I confirmed this by selecting the “html” element in VS2015’s DOM Inspector and watching the location of the DOM highlight while scrolling.
All the solutions I’ve found end up disabling momentum scrolling completely, which results in another issue where iOS can’t scroll a page if the tap-drag starts on an “input” field.
So, does anybody know of a way to get around this?
Now all my absolute elements bounce like hell :))
