The obvious implementation of mousewheel is for scrolling content… If your design implements a specially designed scrollbar, rather than whatever is default on your OS, it can only be accessed by the scrollwheel through an event handler like this. I for one am greatly relieved someone has finally realized the scrollwheel motion is just as valid as an input mechanism as a mousedown or mouseclick, etc. Since you can’t be sure any given user who visits actually has a scrollwheel, it’s pretty obvious you’d have to use this event only as an enhancement to navigation (or, as someone else suggested, for “gauge”-style functions) for those who do.

Anyone with a scrollwheel (and a Mac) who’s used a Dashboard Widget realizes that Apple had already figured this out. Since widgets by default use specially-designed scrollbars made of CSS/JavaScript, Apple had to provide an onscrollwheel function… and they did. I’m delighted someone has finally brought this event handler into the “real” world. :-)

Yes! Ad space for my blog. Finally. If you’re going to spam at least try to make it look legitimate. I agree that in some cases the mouse wheel event is useful to capture in a web application. I have found it especially handy when simulating zooming, but it definitely has to be used sparingly.

Frank an me also digged the jQuery plugin for the mousewheel event out of the Google Cache and linked it under the example DIVs for the folks who like jQuery more than Prototype (like me *g*)

Credits for that go to brandonaaron.net but at the moment his site is down.

So go folks and bulid your own Google Reader!

Nice one Franky, nice one to get yourself here – but as I told you yesterday this one wolud be really awesome if the eventhandler would be wrapped to reduce the code to one line. Will come in the 2.0 i guess ;)
