ISSUE-154 (multiple wheel deltas): Clarify diagonal wheel deltas on wheel events [DOM3 Events] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/154 Raised by: Doug Schepers On product: DOM3 Events David Flanagan <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2010OctDec/0064.html>: [[ The current Editor's Draft has this description of the deltaMode property of WheelEvent > deltaMode of type unsigned long, readonly > The deltaMode attribute contains an indication of to indicate the units of measurement for the delta values. The default value is DOM_DELTA_PIXEL (pixels). The value of deltaMode may be different for each of deltaX, deltaY, and deltaZ, based on system configuration. Does the fact that deltaMode can be different for the X, Y, and Z axes mean that browsers always generate separate events for each axis? If a user moves the mouse wheel "diagonally" to scroll down and to the right, is the browser required to generate one wheel event, two wheel events, or can it do either one of those things? I think the spec ought to be clarified to explain this. ]]
