How can I freeze the body content while allowing the content in the Webflow lightbox to scroll separately?

To freeze the body content while allowing the content in the Webflow lightbox to scroll separately, you can utilize some custom code along with the built-in capabilities of the Webflow interactions.

1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you have set up the lightbox.

2. Place a div block as the parent container of your lightbox content, and give it a class name. For example, let's call it "lightbox-container".

3. Style the "lightbox-container" to cover the entire viewport by setting its position to fixed and adjusting the top, right, bottom, and left values to 0. Also, make sure to give it a high z-index value to make it appear on top of all other elements on the page.

4. Inside the "lightbox-container", place another div block that will hold your lightbox content. Give this div block a class name too, like "lightbox-content".

5. Apply your desired styling to the "lightbox-content" div block, such as a background color, padding, and any other desired visual effects.

6. Next, we'll add custom code to freeze the body content while allowing the lightbox content to scroll. Go to the page settings and click on the "Custom Code" tab.

7. In the "Head Code" section, paste the following CSS code:

```css

```

8. Save the changes and close the page settings.

9. Now, let's set up the interaction to trigger the freezing effect. Select the lightbox trigger (e.g., a button, link, or image) and open the Interactions panel.

10. Create a new interaction by clicking the "+" button, and select a trigger animation, such as a click or hover.

11. In the first step of the interaction, add a "Legacy: Add class" action. Set the target to "Body" and add the class name "freeze-scroll". This class will be used to freeze the body content.

12. In the second step, add a "Legacy: Remove class" action. Again, set the target to "Body" and remove the class name "freeze-scroll". This step will unfreeze the body content when the lightbox is closed.

13. Save the interaction and preview your site. Clicking the lightbox trigger should now freeze the body content and allow only the lightbox content to be scrolled separately.

By combining custom CSS and Webflow interactions, you can achieve the desired effect of freezing the body content while allowing the content in the Webflow lightbox to scroll independently.
