jQuery UI Dialog freezes window scrollbar in Google Chrome
This problem was noticed in jQuery v1.8.3 and jQuery UI v1.9.2. The following code solves this:
$( '#dialog-box' ).dialog({ modal: true, open: function( event, ui ) { window.setTimeout( function () { $(document).unbind( 'mousedown.dialog-overlay' ).unbind( 'mouseup.dialog-overlay' ); }, 100 ); } });
