Disable Scrolling on Body

I would like to disable scrolling on the HTML body completely. I have tried the following options:

overflow: hidden; (not working, did not disable scrolling, it just hid the scrollbar)
position: fixed; (this worked, but it scrolled completely to the top, which is unacceptable for this specific application)

I was unable to find any alternatives to these two options, are there any more?

Solution

Set height and overflow:

html, body {margin: 0; height: 100%; overflow: hidden}
