I have not had much success finding how to style Google's new recaptcha (v2). The eventual goal is to make it responsive, but I am having difficulty applying styling for even simple things like width.
Their API documentation does not appear to give any specifics on how to control styling at all other than the theme parameter, and simple CSS & JavaScript solutions haven't worked for me.
Basically, I need to be able to apply CSS to Google's new version of reCaptcha. Using JavaScript with it is acceptable.
Overview:
Sorry to be the answerer of bad news, but after research and debugging, it's pretty clear that there is no way to customize the styling of the new reCAPTCHA controls. The controls are wrapped in an iframe, which prevents the use of CSS to style them, and Same-Origin Policy prevents JavaScript from accessing the contents, ruling out even a hacky solution.
Why No Customize API?:
Unlike reCAPTCHA API Version 1.0, there are no customize options in API Version 2.0. If we consider how this new API works, it's no surprise why.
Excerpt from Are you a robot? Introducing “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA”:
While the new reCAPTCHA API may sound simple, there is a high degree of sophistication behind that modest checkbox. CAPTCHAs have long relied on the inability of robots to solve distorted text. However, our research recently showed that today’s Artificial Intelligence technology can solve even the most difficult variant of distorted text at 99.8% accuracy. Thus distorted text, on its own, is no longer a dependable test.
To counter this, last year we developed an Advanced Risk Analysis backend for reCAPTCHA that actively considers a user’s entire engagement with the CAPTCHA—before, during, and after—to determine whether that user is a human. This enables us to rely less on typing distorted text and, in turn, offer a better experience for users. We talked about this in our Valentine’s Day post earlier this year.
If you were able to directly manipulate the styling of the control elements, you could easily interfere with the user-profiling logic that makes the new reCAPTCHA possible.
What About a Custom Theme?:
Now the new API does offer a theme option, by which you can choose a preset theme such as light and dark. However there is not presently a way to create a custom theme. If we inspect the iframe, we will find the theme name is passed in the query string of the src attribute. This URL looks something like the following.
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/anchor?...&theme=dark&...
This parameter determines what CSS class name is used on the wrapper element in the iframe and determines the preset theme to use.
Digging through the minified source, I found that there are actually 4 valid theme values, which is more than the 2 listed in the documentation, but default and standard are the same as light.
We can see the code that selects the class name from this object here.
There is no code for a custom theme, and if any other theme value is specified, it will use the standard theme.
In Conclusion:
At present, there is no way to fully style the new reCAPTCHA elements, only the wrapper elements around the iframe can be stylized. This was almost-certainly done intentionally, to prevent users from breaking the user profiling logic that makes the new captcha-free checkbox possible. It is possible that Google could implement a limited custom theme API, perhaps allowing you to choose custom colors for existing elements, but I would not expect Google to implement full CSS styling.
As guys mentioned above, there is no way ATM. but still if anyone interested, then by adding in just two lines you can at least make it look reasonable, if it break on any screen. you can assign different value in #media query.
<div id="recaptchaContainer" style="transform:scale(0.8);transform-origin:0 0"></div>
Hope this helps anyone :-).
I use below trick to make it responsive and remove borders. this tricks maybe hide recaptcha message/error.
This style is for rtl lang but you can change it easy.
.g-recaptcha {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
background: #f9f9f9;
overflow: hidden;
}
.g-recaptcha > * {
float: right;
right: 0;
margin: -2px -2px -10px;/*remove borders*/
}
.g-recaptcha::after{
display: block;
content: "";
position: absolute;
left:0;
right:150px;
top: 0;
bottom:0;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
clear: both;
}
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="Your Api Key"></div>
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=fa'></script>
Unfortunately we cant style reCaptcha v2, but it is possible to make it look better, here is the code:
Click here to preview
.g-recaptcha-outer{
text-align: center;
border-radius: 2px;
background: #f9f9f9;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #37474f;
border-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 2px;
}
.g-recaptcha-inner{
width: 154px;
height: 82px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.g-recaptcha{
position:relative;
left: -2px;
top: -1px;
}
<div class="g-recaptcha-outer">
<div class="g-recaptcha-inner">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-size="compact" data-sitekey="YOUR KEY"></div>
</div>
</div>
Add a data-size property to the google recaptcha element and make it equal to "compact" in case of mobile.
Refer: google recaptcha docs
What you can do is to hide the ReCaptcha Control behind a div. Then make your styling on this div. And set the css "pointer-events: none" on it, so you can click through the div (Click through a DIV to underlying elements).
The checkbox should be in a place where the user is clicking.
You can recreate recaptcha , wrap it in a container and only let the checkbox visible. My main problem was that I couldn't take the full width so now it expands to the container width. The only problem is the expiration you can see a flick but as soon it happens I reset it.
See this demo http://codepen.io/alejandrolechuga/pen/YpmOJX

Great!
Now here is styling available for reCaptcha..
I just use inline styling like:
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" style="transform: scale(1.08); margin-left: 14px;"></div>
whatever you wanna to do small customize in inline styling...
Hope it will help you!!
I came across this answer trying to style the ReCaptcha v2 for a site that has a light and a dark mode. Played around some more and discovered that besides transform, filter is also applied to iframe elements so ended up using the default/light ReCaptcha and doing this when the user is in dark mode:
.g-recaptcha {
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg);
}
The hue-rotate(180deg) makes it so that the logo is still blue and the check-mark is still green when the user clicks it, while keeping white invert()'ed to black and vice versa.
Didn't see this in any answer or comment so decided to share even if this is an old thread.
Just adding a hack-ish solution to make it responsive.
Wrap the recaptcha in an extra div:
<div class="recaptcha-wrap">
<div id="g-recaptcha"></div>
</div>
Add styles. This assumes the dark theme.
// Recaptcha
.recaptcha-wrap {
position: relative;
height: 76px;
padding:1px 0 0 1px;
background:#222;
> div {
position: absolute;
bottom: 2px;
right:2px;
font-size:10px;
color:#ccc;
}
}
// Hides top border
.recaptcha-wrap:after {
content:'';
display: block;
background-color: #222;
height: 2px;
width: 100%;
top: -1px;
left: 0px;
position: absolute;
}
// Hides left border
.recaptcha-wrap:before {
content:'';
display: block;
background-color: #222;
height: 100%;
width: 2px;
top: 0;
left: -1px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}
// Makes it responsive & hides cut-off elements
#g-recaptcha {
overflow: hidden;
height: 76px;
border-right: 60px solid #222222;
border-top: 1px solid #222222;
border-bottom: 1px solid #222;
position: relative;
box-sizing: border-box;
max-width: 294px;
}
This yields the following:
It will now resize horizontally, and doesn't have a border. The recaptcha logo would get cut off on the right, so I am hiding it with a border-right. It's also hiding the privacy and terms links, so you may want to add those back in.
I attempted to set a height on the wrapper element, and then vertically center the recaptcha to reduce the height. Unfortunately, any combo of overflow:hidden and a smaller height seems to kill the iframe.
in the V2.0 it's not possible. The iframe blocks all styling out of this. It's difficult to add a custom theme instead of the dark or light one.
Late to the party, but maybe my solution will help somebody.
I haven't found any solution that works on a responsive website when the viewport changes or the layout is fluid.
So I've created a jQuery script for django-cms that is dynamically adapting to a changing viewport.
I'm going to update this response as soon as I have the need for a modern variant of it that is more modular and has no jQuery dependency.

With the integration of the invisible reCAPTCHA you can do the following:
To enable the Invisible reCAPTCHA, rather than put the parameters in a div, you can add them directly to an html button.
a. data-callback=””. This works just like the checkbox captcha, but is required for invisible.
b. data-badge: This allows you to reposition the reCAPTCHA badge (i.e. logo and
‘protected by reCAPTCHA’ text) . Valid options as ‘bottomright’ (the default),
‘bottomleft’ or ‘inline’ which will put the badge directly above the button. If you
make the badge inline, you can control the CSS of the badge directly.
In case someone struggling with the recaptcha of contact form 7 (wordpress) here is a solution working for me
.wpcf7-recaptcha{
clear: both;
float: left;
}
.wpcf7-recaptcha{
margin-right: 6px;
width: 206px;
height: 65px;
overflow: hidden;
border-right: 1px solid #D3D3D3;
}
.wpcf7-recaptcha iframe{
padding-bottom: 15px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #D3D3D3;
background: #F9F9F9;
border-left: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
}
if you use scss, that worked for me:
.recaptcha > div{
transform: scale(0.84);
transform-origin: 0;
}
If someone is still interested, there is a simple javascript library (no jQuery dependency), named custom recaptcha. It lets you customize the button with css and implement some js events (ready/checked). The idea is to make the default recaptcha "invisible" and put a button over it. Just change the id of the recaptcha and that's it.

I am just adding this kind of solution / quick fix so it won't get lost in case of a broken link.
Link to this solution "Want to add link How to resize the Google noCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA | The Geek Goddess" was provided by Vikram Singh Saini and simply outlines that you could use inline CSS to enforce framing of the iframe.
// Scale the frame using inline CSS
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-theme="light"
data-sitekey="XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
style="transform:scale(0.77);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.77);
transform-origin:0 0;
-webkit-transform-origin:0 0;
">
</div>
// Scale the images using a stylesheet
<style>
#rc-imageselect, .g-recaptcha {
transform:scale(0.77);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.77);
transform-origin:0 0;
-webkit-transform-origin:0 0;
}
</style>
You can use some CSS for Google reCAPTCHA v2 styling on your website:
– Change background, color of Google reCAPTCHA v2 widget:
.rc-anchor-light {
background: #fff!important;
color: #fff!important; }
or
.rc-anchor-normal{
background: #000 !important;
color: #000 !important; }
– Resize the Google reCAPTCHA v2 widget by using this snippet:
.rc-anchor-light {
transform:scale(0.9);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.9); }
– Responsive your Google reCAPTCHA v2:
#media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
.rc-anchor-light {
transform:scale(0.85);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.85); }
}
All elements, property of CSS above that’s just for your reference. You can change them by yourself (only using CSS class selector).
Refer on OIW Blog - How To Edit CSS of Google reCAPTCHA (Re-style, Change Position, Resize reCAPTCHA Badge)
You can also find out Google reCAPTCHA v3's styling there.
A bit late but I tried this and it worked to make the Recaptcha responsive on screens smaller than 460px width. You can't use css selector to select elements inside the iframe. So, better use the outermost parent element which is the class g-recaptcha to basically zoom-out i.e transform the size of the entire container. Here's my code which worked:
#media(max-width:459.99px) {
.modal .g-recaptcha {
transform:scale(0.75);
-webkit-transform:scale(0.75); }
}
}
Incase someone wants to resize recaptcha for small devices.
I was using recaptcha V2 with primeng p-captcha (for angular). The issue was that for smaller screens it would go out of the screen.
Although you can't actually resize it (the external thing and all everyone has explained it above) but there is a way with transform property (scaling the the container)
this was my code below the way, I achieved it
p-captcha div div {
transform:scale(0.9) !important;
-webkit-transform:scale(0.9) !important;
transform-origin:0 0 !important;
-webkit-transform-origin:0 0 !important;
}
Other than p-captcha you can use this code snippet below
.g-recaptcha {
transform:scale(0.9);
transform-origin:0 0;
}

After
Topic is old, but I also wanted to scale the reCAPTCHA widget -- but to make it bigger for phone users, unlike many others who wanted it smaller. The only way that worked was transform: scale(x), but that seemed to make the widget too wide for my page, thus shrinking the rest of the form on the page. Using a container div as shown below fixed my problem, and hopefully it will help someone else who thinks a bigger version is better on a small screen.
<style>
:root {
/* factor to scale the Google widget in potrait mode (on a phone) */
--recaptcha-scale: 2;
}
#media screen and (orientation: portrait) {
/* needed to rein in the width of inner div when it is scaled */
#g_recaptcha_div_container {
width: calc(100vmin / var(--recaptcha-scale));
}
#g_recaptcha_div {
transform: scale(var(--recaptcha-scale));
transform-origin: 0 0;
}
#submit_button {
width: 65vmin;
height: 9vmin;
font-size: 7vmin;
/* needed to scoot the button out from under the scaled div */
margin-top: 10vmin;
}
}
</style>
<html>
<!-- top of form with a bunch of fields to create an acct -->
<div id="g_recaptcha_div_container">
<div id="g_recaptcha_div" class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="foo">
</div>
</div>
<input id="submit_button" type="submit" value="Create Account">
<!-- bottom of form -->

You can try to color it with this css filter hack:
.colorize-pink {
filter: brightness(0.5) sepia(1) hue-rotate(-70deg) saturate(5);
}
.colorize-navy {
filter: brightness(0.2) sepia(1) hue-rotate(180deg) saturate(5);
}
and for the size, use transform css hack
.captcha-size {
transform:scale(0.8);transform-origin:0 0
}
Lets play a little with JavaScript:
First at all, we know that recaptcha badget include all the shit from the most crazy people on Google, so you can only make changes with theme "dark" and "light" on your web.
Take a look to my website
SantiagoSoñora.
let recaptcha = document.querySelector('.g-recaptcha');
With this, you only can touch simple settings of the badge, like z-index and size, but no much more...
So far, i made two functions that set data-theme to light or dark mode at innit. Note that its neccessary assign the "light" because Google not include that by default.
function reCaptchaDark() {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "dark");
})
}
function reCaptchaLight() {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "light");
})
}
Then, for example, my web looks if user prefers a dark or a light theme, and set that configurations to the recaptcha bag:
(theme.onLoad = function() {
if (window.matchMedia && window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches) {
reCaptchaDark();
toggleTheme();
}
else {
reCaptchaLight();
}
})();
Note that my code for toggle from dark to light is on the toggleTheme() function.
Keep doing magic: You should configure a class on the html tag or something else on your web for made the change between dark and light theme, and with that we now modify the src on the iframe so when we toggle dark/light mode ,with our button it changes:
theme.onclick = function() {
toggleTheme();
if (html.classList.contains('dark')) {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "dark");
setTimeout(function() {
let iframes = document.querySelectorAll('iframe');
iframes[0].src = iframes[0].src.replace('&theme=light', '&theme=dark');
}, 0);
}
else {
recaptcha.setAttribute("data-theme", "light");
setTimeout(function() {
let iframes = document.querySelectorAll('iframe');
iframes[0].src = iframes[0].src.replace('&theme=dark', '&theme=light');
}, 0);
}
}
And here you go, the recaptcha badge change from dark to light "preassigned" themes by Google bad guys.
And last but not least, a function that updates the page to change if your theme is dark by default.
This update the LocalStorage
(function() {
if( window.localStorage ) {
if( !localStorage.getItem('firstLoad') ) {
localStorage['firstLoad'] = true;
window.location.reload();
}
else
localStorage.removeItem('firstLoad');
}
})();
You can use the class .grecaptcha-badge for some css changes, like opacity and box-shadow, -> (use !important)
Thats all, hope you can implement on your site
As the title says, I used this (Example)
More specifically I used the info box in top right corner(US Population Density). I modified it to show me some more info onclick etc. Now I have a problem, this div is unselectable. I need to be able to select text (for copy text purpose), instead of selecting the text, it just moves the map. Is there a "quite easy solution" to it, because I can't find the right place. Maybe somehow in CSS?
.info {
position: fixed;
right: 0;
bottom: 23px;
padding: 6px 8px;
font: 14px/16px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: white;
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
box-shadow: 0 0 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
border-radius: 5px;
/*-webkit-user-select: text;
-moz-user-select: text;
user-select: text;
-webkit-user-drag: text;*/ /*Tried this, didn't work. */
}
.info h4 {
margin: 0 0 100px;
color: #777;
}
Edit: I should add, when I start selecting on other div, then I can select it. As seen on picture, if I start selecting on div where my layers are shown, I can select text, but if I try to directly select from that div (on top right corner of picture) it moves map. I know picture is cut quite small, hope it gives the info/vision wha needed.

Use disableClickPropagation in your controls onAdd method.
onAdd: function (map) {
var container = L.DomUtil.create('div', 'my-custom-control');
container.innerHTML += 'This is an example using disableClickPropagation.';
L.DomEvent.disableClickPropagation(container);
return container;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/9q756/1/
You can fix this by re-enabling pointer-events on the bottom en top control-containers. These get set to none in leaflet.css:
https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/blob/master/dist/leaflet.css#L93
You need to overrule this in your own custom CSS:
.leaflet-top,
.leaflet-bottom {
pointer-events: all;
}

document.getElementById('ac-wrapper').style.display="none";
}
</script>
HTML:
<div id="ac-wrapper">
<div id="popup">
<center>
<p>Popup Content Here</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onClick="PopUp()" />
</center>
</div>
</div>
<p>Page Content Here</p>
A simple answer, which you could use and would not require you to stop the scroll event would be to set the position of your #ac-wrapper fixed.
e.g.
#ac-wrapper {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: rgba(255,255,255,.6);
z-index: 1001;
}
this will keep the container of the popup always visible (aligned top - left) but would still allow scrolling.
But scrolling the page with a popup open is BAD!!! (almost always anyway)
Reason you would not want to allow scrolling though is because if your popup isn't fullscreen or is semi transparent, users will see the content scroll behind the popup. In addition to that, when they close the popup they will now be in a different position on the page.
A solution is that, when you bind a click event in javascript to display this popup, to also add a class to the body with essentially these rules:
.my-body-noscroll-class {
overflow: hidden;
}
Then, when closing the popup by triggering some action or dismissing it with a click, you simply remove the class again, allowing scroll after the popup has closed.
If the user then scrolls while the popup is open, the document will not scroll. When the user closes the popup, scrolling will become available again and the user can continue where they left off :)
To disable scrollbar:
$('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
This will hide the scrollbar
Background-fade-thing:
I created my own popup-dialog-widget that has a background too. I used the following CSS:
div.modal{
position: fixed;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 9998;
background-color: #000;
display: none;
filter: alpha(opacity=25); /* internet explorer */
-khtml-opacity: 0.25; /* khtml, old safari */
-moz-opacity: 0.25; /* mozilla, netscape */
opacity: 0.25; /* fx, safari, opera */
}
I had a similar problem; wanting to disable vertical scrolling while a "popup" div was displayed.
Changing the overflow property of the body does work, but also mess with the document's width.
I opted jquery to solve this using and used a placeholder for the scrollbar.
This was done without binding to the scroll event, ergo this doesn't change your scrollbar position or cause flickering :)
HTML:
<div id="scrollPlaceHolder"></div>
CSS:
body,html
{
height:100%; /*otherwise won't work*/
}
#scrollPlaceHolder
{
height:100%;
width:0px;
float:right;
display: inline;
top:0;
right: 0;
position: fixed;
background-color: #eee;
z-index: 100;
}
Jquery:
function DisableScrollbar()
{
// exit if page can't scroll
if($(document).height() == $('body').height()) return;
var old_width = $(document).width();
var new_width = old_width;
// ID's \ class to change
var items_to_change = "#Banner, #Footer, #Content";
$('body').css('overflow-y','hidden');
// get new width
new_width = $(document).width()
// update width of items to their old one(one with the scrollbar visible)
$(items_to_change).width(old_width);
// make the placeholder the same width the scrollbar was
$("#ScrollbarPlaceholder").show().width(new_width-old_width);
// and float the items to the other side.
$(items_to_change).css("float", "left");
}
function EnableScrollbar()
{
// exit if page can't scroll
if ($(document).height() == $('body').height()) return;
// remove the placeholder, then bring back the scrollbar
$("#ScrollbarPlaceholder").fadeOut(function(){
$('body').css('overflow-y','auto');
});
}
Hope this helps.
If simple switching of body's 'overflow-y' is breaking your page's scroll position, try to use these 2 functions (jQuery):
// Run this function when you open your popup:
var disableBodyScroll = function(){
window.body_scroll_pos = $(window).scrollTop(); // write page scroll position in a global variable
$('body').css('overflow-y','hidden');
}
// Run this function when you close your popup:
var enableBodyScroll = function(){
$('body').css('overflow-y','scroll');
$(window).scrollTop(window.body_scroll_pos); // restore page scroll position from the global variable
}
Use below code for disabling and enabling scroll bar.
Scroll = (
function(){
var x,y;
function hndlr(){
window.scrollTo(x,y);
//return;
}
return {
disable : function(x1,y1){
x = x1;
y = y1;
if(window.addEventListener){
window.addEventListener("scroll",hndlr);
}
else{
window.attachEvent("onscroll", hndlr);
}
},
enable: function(){
if(window.removeEventListener){
window.removeEventListener("scroll",hndlr);
}
else{
window.detachEvent("onscroll", hndlr);
}
}
}
})();
//for disabled scroll bar.
Scroll.disable(0,document.body.scrollTop);
//for enabled scroll bar.
Scroll.enable();

I had the same problem and found a way to get rid of it, you just have to stop the propagation on touchmove on your element that pops up. For me, it was fullscreen menu that appeared on the screen and you couldn't scroll, now you can.
$(document).on("touchmove","#menu-left-toggle",function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
This solution works for me.
HTML:
<div id="payu-modal" class="modal-payu">
<!-- Modal content -->
<div class="modal-content">
<span class="close">×</span>
<p>Some text in the Modal..</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.modal-payu {
display: none; /* Hidden by default */
position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */
padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%; /* Full width */
height: 100%; /* Full height */
overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */
background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* Black w/ opacity */
}
/* Modal Content */
.modal-content {
background-color: #fefefe;
margin: auto;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #888;
width: 80%;
}
/* The Close Button */
.close {
color: #aaaaaa;
float: right;
font-size: 28px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.close:hover,
.close:focus {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
JS:
<script>
var btn = document.getElementById("button_1");
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block";
$('html').css('overflow', 'hidden');
}
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];
var modal = document.getElementById('payu-modal');
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target != modal) {
}else{
modal.style.display = "none";
$('html').css('overflow', 'scroll');
}
}
span.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "none";
$('html').css('overflow', 'scroll');
}
</script>
I ran into the problem and tried several solutions,
here is the article that solved my problem (https://css-tricks.com/prevent-page-scrolling-when-a-modal-is-open/) and it is quite simple!
It uses the 'fixed body' solution, which is quite common to find in lots of posts.
The problem with this solution is, when the popup is closed, the body will scroll back to the top.
But the article points out: by manipulating the CSS top and position attributes while using the solution, we can recover the scroll position.
Another issue of the solution is, you can't apply the solution with the multiple popup scenario.
So I added a variable to store the count of the popup, just to make sure the program won't trigger the initiating process nor the reset process at the wrong timing.
Here is the final solution I get:
// freeze or free the scrolling of the body:
const objectCountRef = { current: 0 }
function freezeBodyScroll () {
if (objectCountRef.current === 0) { // trigger the init process when there is no other popup exist
document.body.style.top = `-${window.scrollY}px`
document.body.style.position = 'fixed'
}
objectCountRef.current += 1
}
function freeBodyScroll () {
objectCountRef.current -= 1
if (objectCountRef.current === 0) { // trigger the reset process when all the popup are closed
const scrollY = document.body.style.top
document.body.style.position = ''
document.body.style.top = ''
window.scrollTo(0, parseInt(scrollY || '0') * -1)
}
}

Edit
More about the 'fixed body' solution
The approach is mainly about setting the CSS position attribute of the body element into 'fixed' to make it unscrollable.
No matter how far it has been scrolled, when the body is fixed, it will scroll back to the top, which is the behavior that I don't expect to see. (Imagine the user is browsing a long content and almost scrolls to the bottom of the page, suddenly a popup shows up and make the page scroll right back to the top, that's a bad user experience)
The solution from the article
Base on the 'fixed body' approach, additionally, the solution sets the CSS top of the body as the value of '-window.scrollY px' to make the body looks like it stays in the current scrolling position while it is fixed.
Furthermore, the solution uses the CSS top of the body as a temporary reference, so that we can retrieve the scrolling position by the attribute when we want to make the body scrollable again. (Notice you have to multiple the position you get to -1 to make it positive)
