I used once another div, with the same position and size, a greater z-index, no content and a background-color set to transparent.

Hi everyone,

I currently have a problem something like this:

        div
        {
                width: 200px;
                height: 100%;
                overflow: hidden;
        }

        <div>
                Lots and lots of content which we never expect to fit in the
box
                and we just want to be cut off. However, we only want them
to be
                able to see what would fit in the box. So, we need to stop
them
                from being able to click in the box and use their scroll
wheel.
                Another way they could see all the content is by selecting
what
                they can see and dragging down.
        </div>

What's the best way from stopping this from scrolling?

- javascript?

- a nested div which contains the content, positioned with fixed positioning
so even if they scroll the outer div nothing actually changes visually
(would this work? I haven't tested it)

- something else?



Thanks,
