Get real! No, obviously not. There are 2 issues here, they are completely unrelated, one is how to identify mouse buttons or mousewheels in a web-api. The other is about how you configure the permission to access these buttons and wheels. The second should not be standardised, the first needs to be supported. > I did a quick test with two <textarea> elements.

Try it with a SELECT element ie give focus to a select area, then use the scrollwheel when mousefocus is somewhere else, I'm pretty sure the focused element will scroll. Jim.
