Iframe Overscroll Behavior Control

Learn how to manage overscroll behavior in iframes without accessing the internal content of the iframe.

About Overscroll Behavior

Overscroll behavior determines what happens when a user scrolls past the boundaries of a scrollable element. By default, it may cause scroll chaining to the parent document or a pull-to-refresh action.

Methods to Control Overscroll

1. Pointer Events Control

Using pointer-events: none on the iframe prevents it from capturing scroll events, effectively disabling overscroll within the iframe.

2. Wrapper Div with Overflow Control

Wrapping the iframe in a container with overflow: hidden and controlling dimensions through the wrapper.

3. Alternative: overscroll-behavior-y (requires iframe access)

If you could access the iframe content, you would use overscroll-behavior-y: none on the body element inside the iframe.
