The event is dispatched to the primary subject of user interaction relative to the input device. This may be the focused event target, it may also be some other component of the user interface. Which event target exactly depends on platform conventions. For example, if a <select> is active, rotating the wheel is likely to scroll the list, regardless of where the cursor is; if, on the other hand, a simple text <input> is active, the event is dispatched to the event target under the cursor. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
