Modal dialog enhancement to prevent scrolling of parent window

Description

At the moment, "modal" dialogs allow the parent window to be scrolled by either using PageUp/PageDown, the mouse wheel, or by using the scrollbar.

In my opinion, no scrolling of the main window should be allowed since the modal dialog should be the focus of the users attention and everything else should not be able to be interacted with.

Hi andrew.cheong,

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to jQuery UI. In my opinion this is not a good idea as the user may need to scroll to see something behind the dialog.

You can easily implement this sort of thing as an extension. This takes care of your scroll bar criteria - http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/q9wvc/.

I agree with tj.vantoll. Native dialogs (HTML5) don't prevent scrolling either.
