# Method name: setBackgroundScroll(backgroundScrollEnabled: boolean)

# Method package: wixWindowFrontend

# Method menu location: wixWindowFrontend --> Lightbox --> setBackgroundScroll

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-window-frontend/lightbox/set-background-scroll.md

# Method Description:

Sets whether the site in the background behind a popup can be scrolled while a popup overlay is open.

> **Note:** The terms popup and lightbox refer to the same element. While the editor and dashboard now refer to it as a [popup](https://support.wix.com/en/article/studio-editor-using-popups), the API methods continue to use the term lightbox for backward compatibility. The documentation uses both terms accordingly.

 If `backgroundScrollEnabled` is `true`, site visitors can scroll the site in the background behind a popup while a popup overlay is open. 
 
 If `backgroundScrollEnabled` is `false`, site visitors can't scroll the site in the background behind a popup while a popup overlay is open.

 The default for `backgroundScrollEnabled` is `false`.

 > **Note:** This method only affects the site in the background behind a popup. It doesn't affect the scrollability of the popup content itself.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Allow site visitors to scroll the site in the background behind a popup while a popup overlay is open

```javascript
$w("#myLightbox").setBackgroundScroll(true);
```
