How to disable scrolling on number inputs with JavaScript?

To disable scrolling on number inputs with JavaScript, we can listen to the wheel event.

For instance, we write

document.addEventListener("wheel", (event) => {
  if (document.activeElement.type === "number") {
    document.activeElement.blur();
  }
});

to get the active element with document.activeElement.

We get its type attribute and check if it’s 'number'.

And if it is, we call its blur method to move focus away from it to stop it from scrolling.
