ISSUE-56 - Public View
horizontal and vertical wheeling
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- DOM 3 Events
- Raised by:
- Anne van Kesteren

- Description:
We deferred this to ISSUE-33 at first, but I think it's better to track a solution in a separate issue. Currently mousewheel is only for vertical scrolling. There are different solutions to this problem: (a) Have a separate event for horizontal wheeling, similar to khtmlHorizontalWheel in Safari. (b) Create a separate interface for mousewheel (see ISSUE-55) and put wheelDeltaX and wheelDeltaY on it. (c) Instead of separate attributes as suggested in (b) have wheelType which takes horizontal, vertical and perhaps even steering along with some way to make it extensible I guess... The reason Safari did (a) was because doing (b) or (c) might break legacy applications.
