Get mouse wheel events in jQuery?

Question

Is there a way to get the mouse wheel events (not talking about scroll events) in jQuery?

Answer 1

I was stuck in this issue today and found this code is working fine for me

$('#content').on('mousewheel', function(event) {
    //console.log(event.deltaX, event.deltaY, event.deltaFactor);
    if(event.deltaY > 0) {
      console.log('scroll up');
    } else {
      console.log('scroll down');
    }
});
