web api event
Element: DOMMouseScroll event
The DOM DOMMouseScroll event is fired asynchronously when mouse wheel or similar device is operated and the accumulated scroll amount is over 1 line or 1 page since last event. It’s represented by the MouseScrollEvent interface. This event was only implemented by Firefox. You should instead use the standard wheel event.
If you want to prevent the default action of mouse wheel events, it’s not enough to handle only this event on Gecko because If scroll amount by a native mouse wheel event is less than 1 line (or less than 1 page when the system setting is by page scroll), other mouse wheel events may be fired without this event.
On Gecko 17 (Firefox 17) or later, you need to call preventDefault() of wheel events which must be fired for every native event.
Use the standardized wheel event if available.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("DOMMouseScroll", (event) => { })
onDOMMouseScroll = (event) => { }
Event type
A WheelEvent. Inherits from MouseEvent, UIEvent and Event.
