        if(e.originalEvent.wheelDelta /         


        

Answer 1

This is 2017 and the right answer is now:

$(window).on('wheel', function(event){

    // deltaY obviously records vertical scroll, deltaX and deltaZ exist too
    if(event.originalEvent.deltaY < 0){
        // wheeled up
    }
    else {
        // wheeled down
    }
});

Works with current Firefox 51, Chrome 56, IE9+

Note: The value of the deltas will depend on the browser and the user settings.

Or just use the jquery-mousewheel jQuery plugin.

Answer 3

Firefox doesn't recognize "mousewheel" as of version 3. You should use "DOMMouseScroll" instead for firefox.

Answer 4

Badri is right, you should use "DOMMouseScroll" instead for firefox. Addition to this, for delta you need to use event.originalEvent.detail instead of event.originalEvent.wheelDelta. For down, event.originalEvent.detail gives positive value whereas event.originalEvent.wheelDelta gives negative value and vice versa.

 $(stage.content).on('mousewheel DOMMouseScroll', zoomHelper.zoom);   

 if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox') > -1) {
            if (event.originalEvent.detail > 0) {
                //scroll down
                delta = 0.2;
            } else {
                //scroll up
                delta = 0;
            }
        } else {
            if (event.originalEvent.wheelDelta < 0) {
                //scroll down
                delta = 0.2;
            } else {
                //scroll up
                delta = 0;
            }
        }

Answer 5

This seems to work in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox (I have not tested it in IE):

// For Chrome
window.addEventListener('mousewheel', mouseWheelEvent);

// For Firefox
window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', mouseWheelEvent);

function mouseWheelEvent(e) {
  var delta = e.wheelDelta ? e.wheelDelta : -e.detail;
  console.log(delta);
}

Use wheel event. This page also provides polyfills for old browsers https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/wheel
