Trigger 'dummy' mouse wheel event

Question

Is there a way to trigger a scroll wheel event with an arbitrary delta. Just like jQuery does with \'click\' like:

$(\'#selector\').trigger(\'click\');
         


        

Answer 1

You need to use jQuery.Event For example:

// Create a new jQuery.Event object with specified event properties.
var e = jQuery.Event( "DOMMouseScroll",{delta: -650} );

// trigger an artificial DOMMouseScroll event with delta -650
jQuery( "#selector" ).trigger( e );
