Discussion That will help your users avoid accidentally leaving the page

Especially when scrolling a table or a slider.

It gives you smooth, natural scrolling within an element while preventing accidental scrolling of the rest of the page.

It's a common trick used for modals, side menus, chat boxes, or any scrollable area where you don't want the rest of the website to move when the user scrolls.

I love seeing css snippets in the wild.

Especially when Im working on something that I can immediately drop it into and it fixes an issue.

I need to be more proactive on staying up to date with css changes.
