Strange, I've managed to attach it to any element:
el.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', function(e) {
console.log(e.detail);
e.preventDefault();
}, false);
Hover the mouse over the element and scroll, it worked fine!
The element doesn't even require focus.
(Firefox 1.5.0.7)
e.detail usually contains 3 or -3.
- Mark.
