ISSUE-56: horizontal and vertical wheeling
http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/webapi/issues/56
Raised by: Anne van Kesteren
On product: DOM 3 Events
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.
