Disable scrolling in an iPhone web application?



Is there any way to completely disable web page scrolling in an iPhone web app? I've tried numerous things posted on google, but none seem to work.





Here's my current header setup:







<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no;"/>

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"/>







document.body.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); });





doesn't seem to work.

  1. Change to the touchstart event instead of touchmove. Under One Finger Events it says that no events are sent during a pan, so touchmove may be too late.

    I added the listener to document, not body.

  2. The page has to be launched from the Home screen for the meta tag to work.

  3. This should work. No more gray areas at the top or bottom:)

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function blockMove() {
    event.preventDefault() ;
    }
    </script>

    <body ontouchmove="blockMove()">


    But this also disables any scrollable areas. If you want to keep your scrollable areas and still remove the rubber band effect at the top and bottom, see here: http://flow.bz/uaIgUn.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
