Use jQuery to check mousewheel event without scrollbar
I highly recommend you use this jQuery plugin: PLUGIN Without a plugin, try this example: EXAMPLE HTML: <div id=’foo’ style=”height:300px; width:300px; background-color:red”></div> Javascript: $(‘#foo’).bind(‘mousewheel’, function(e) { if(e.originalEvent.wheelDelta / 120 > 0) { alert(‘up’); } else { alert(‘down’); } }); There is no scrollbar on the div but the wheel event is detected.
