A vertical or horizontal bar that is located at the corners of the page helps us to scroll the pages or containers upwards, downwards or sideways. So, the process is to disable the scroll bar but the scroll bar should be visible. In this article, we will disable the scroll bar by using .on() function. With the click of the button, we will make the scroll-bar visible but disable.
Disable using jQuery with a button: Here once we disable the scroll event the scroll won’t work whether we want to make the scrollbar visible or not. We gonna trigger the disable function with the click of the button.
Syntax:
$(“selector”).on(event, function)
Example: This example illustrates the approach of disabling the scroll using visibility.

jQuery is an open source JavaScript library
that simplifies the interactions between an
HTML/CSS document, or more precisely the
Document Object Model (DOM), and JavaScript.
Elaborating the terms, jQuery simplifies HTML
document traversing and manipulation, browser
event handling, DOM animations, Ajax interactions,
and cross-browser JavaScript development.
