no scroll on light box???

I've got a lightbox but where my webpage is longer than just the screen I'm able to still scroll up and down. How would I stop this.

If you mean that the lightbox is scrolling with the page, you could try setting the lightbox container to position: fixed.

In addition to what Sean has said, if you're trying to stop the entire page from scrolling (so the background doesn't scroll while the lightbox is open), you can add overflow: hidden; to the main wrapper for your page via JavaScript and then change it back to visible upon dismissal of the lightbox.
