When dragging things on the edge of an overflowing page, the page will start scrolling. How to prevent this behavior with native browser functions / styling? It’s OK to work only on Firefox. (I’m writing some userChrome.js script)
For example, open www.wikipedia.org, when there is a vertical scrollbar (which the full page size is larger than the viewport, aka overflowing), if you drag a file from desktop, folder, or whatever onto the top or bottom edge of the viewport, the page will start scrolling. I want to prevent that.
I’ve tried calling event.preventDefault() on the dragover event, but it does not work. Using overflow:hidden can stop it, but I need the page to be scrollable (at least visually). I’m thinking to create a box that with 0 width but only a scrollbar, then synchronize the scroll behavior of them to fake the users, but I’m wondering is there an elegant way.
