I’m trying to change the body overflowY to "hidden" through a JavaScript function. I’ve tried both of the following:

document.body.style['overflow-y'] = 'hidden';
document.body.style.overflowY = "hidden";

In both cases it didn’t work. However in both cases using just overflow without X or Y works fine!

Is there a way to change only the overflowY or overflowX properties?

    Both cases should work in all the current browsers. I’ve just tested Firefox 4, Chrome 11 and IE 9 and they all work fine. Either the browser you’re testing with has a bug or your problem lies elsewhere in your code; for instance, a conflicting style declaration or erroneous code in the same block.

    window.onload = function() {
      document.body.style.overflowY = "hidden";
    }
    body { white-space: pre-wrap; }
