Scroll only div not window

Trying to only scroll through the content inside the div not the whole window

$(document).ready(function() {
var pictureCount = picture.length;
var scrollResolution = 75;    

function animateScroll() {
    var currentScrollPosition = window.pageYOffset;
    var imageIndex = Math.round(currentScrollPosition / scrollResolution);

    if (imageIndex >= pictureCount) {
        imageIndex = pictureCount - 1;
    }

    picture.hide();
    picture.eq(imageIndex).show();
}

animateScroll();

$("#container").on("mouseover", _=> document.body.style.overflow = "scroll");
 $("#container").on("mouseout",  _=> document.body.style.overflow = "hidden");


$(window).on('scroll', function() {
    animateScroll();
    });
});

You don't need JavaScript for this. Just this little bit of CSS will give you a scrollable container fixed on the screen:

#container {
  position: fixed;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  width:  /* photo width + 20px for scroll bar */;
  height: /* photo height */;
}

I also posted this solution to your previous question.
