How to disable scrolling on number inputs with JavaScript?
To disable scrolling on number inputs with JavaScript, we listen to the wheel event.
For instance, we write
document.addEventListener("wheel", (event) => {
if (document.activeElement.type === "number") {
document.activeElement.blur();
}
});
to add the wheel event listener.
In the event listener, we check if the type attribute of the active input is 'number'.
If it is, we call blur to move focus away from it.
