Polypane B V ☛ The root scroller and how not to lose it
Every page has one main scroll container that scrolls the page itself: the root scroll container, or root scroller for short. Because it scrolls the entire page, the browser gives the root scroller a bunch of features that regular scroll containers don't get, and because they work automatically, most developers aren't aware of them.
It's easy to accidentally stop using the root scroller, and hard to notice when you have. Your 'page' still scrolls (visually at least) and you don't get any errors, but your site misses out on some features and that can make the user experience worse.
