Please elaborate how one can be able to use the mouse wheel in a HTML5 application to do more additional tasks than just scrolling, and explain what the other tasks are?
Hi Julia Turner,
The extended use of the mouse wheel can introduce additional interactivity to your HTML5 web pages and apps. Rather than only scrolling the page by a mouse wheel, a different action like zooming in or zooming out can be performed.
Mouse wheel event is supported by most browsers for any element. Regrettably, Mozilla Firefox doesn’t support mouse wheel event. In Safari, the Apple disabled the scroll wheel, but in the webkit engine support is available that no problem occurs for your code. You can find huge details about how to use the mouse wheel in a HTML5 in the following link:
