    Try this…

    $('body,html').css('overflow','hidden');

    the ,html allows you to also include the <html> because some browsers may use that as the base as oppose to the <body> tag so it helps treating both as if they were one.

    any tag should be selected like so $('a'); or $('body');

    an element can be selected by id using the prefix # so

    <a id="c_1" >CLick Me</a> 

    $('#c_1');

    or by class with the prefix .

    <a class="classname">Click Me</a>

    $('.classname');

    for more information read http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/
    as for the scroll bars they are controlled by css, you could simply go on a css file and do the following.

    body, html {overflow: hidden;}

    the overflow parameter allows you to control what happens when content overflow the assigned width and hight.

    or the proper reference http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html

    sorry if this is too technical, but one day you would have to learn about these 🙂
