how to disable scrollbar without overflow:hidden in jQuery

Question

Is it possible to disable scrollbar without overflow:hidden in jQuery ?

And without $(window).bind("scroll", function() { scroll(0,0); });

which works but the scrollbar is always active and it backs to top immediatly.

UPDATE : Is there a way to put an PreventDefault() when a user click on scrollbar ?

What are you trying to do? Do you want the scrollbar visible? And why are you doing this? — Tom Walters

When I do overflow:hidden, my main div will move to the right (around 10px) because there is no scrollbar yet. — Steffi

Hmm... yeah but the scrollbar's width is not the same for each browser — Steffi

Sorry, why is this so important? If your div is in the middle of the page use margin:0 auto; Otherwise use position:absolute; and position it relative to the left. — Tom Walters

I can't think of a way to do this from javascript ONLY, without setting the css param overflow:hidden (either manually, or from javascript). Why is it that overflow:hidden is not a good option for you?

then adjust it with padding, margin, or position:relative.

You can make the div's position absolute: position:absolute; top: 140px; left: 87px;
