question regarding prevent default

[simon tiberius]

				$('#element').on('scroll', function(e){
					
					e.preventDefault();
					
				});

but when moving the scrollbar, the page still moves. how to stop the default behavior? thanks

You can not cancel the scrolling of the page.

You can force the window to be at a certain location, by setting scrollTop inside of that function, but it will be jittery.
