Is it possible to disable the scrolling in a web browser control in Windows Phone 7.1? I have seen quite a few questions ask around it (Windows Phone 7.0, Silverlight) but an answer has yet to come up. Any ideas?

If you don't need interaction with the control, you can just set IsHitTextVisible = false, and if you do, you can set ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBar = Disabled –  William Melani Nov 21 '11 at 20:34

There is a blog post here explaining how to suppress the zoom and scroll functionality of the WebBrowser control. Quote from that post:

Given the webbrowser:

To disable interaction set IsHitTextVisible= false

<phone:WebBrowser Height="600" IsHitTestVisible="False" />

To disable scrolling only, set ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility= disabled

<phone:WebBrowser Height="600" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" />

I tried the second answer but it doesn't seem to work. –  loyalpenguin Nov 21 '11 at 20:57
the scrolling controls rendered in the webbrower cannot be controlled by the Scrollviewer property , it should be controlled by injecting JavaScript code to dynamically set the content to the available view port –  Sanath Shetty Jul 30 at 2:49
