2. Up is Down
Nice job!
Up next, we'll be messing with scroll events. Have you ever been annoyed when you visited a website that broke scrolling?
Imagine the damage if they were actually trying to be annoying!
Scroll down to continue.
Did you know? I can force the window to scroll wherever I want:
// You're scrolling down by 100px,
// whether you want to or not.
window.scrollBy(0, 100);
Of course, I don't want you scrolling for yourself. Let's keep you from scrolling at all.
html {
overflow: hidden;
}
Even though you can't scroll, you can still *try* to scroll.
And I can watch you struggle:
window.addEventListener("mousewheel", e => {
// nice try!
struggles++;
});
Finally, we can take the scroll event and intentionally scroll the opposite way:
window.addEventListener("mousewheel", e => {
// go the *other* direction
window.scrollBy(0, -e.deltaY);
});
