Q:

jQuery mouse wheel horizontally

Is there any way to detect if the mouse wheel is scrolling sideways in Javascript? I am now using the excellent jquery.mousewheel.3.0.2 plugin, but I couldn't find any relevant parameters on the event. Please help!

A:

DOMMouseScroll event has an "axis" property

no idea about MSIE
