The X coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the whole document.

MouseEvent.pageY Read only

The Y coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the whole document.

MouseEvent.region Read only

Returns the id of the hit region affected by the event. If no hit region is affected, null is returned.

方法

滚轮事件实现了以下事件的方法： WheelEvent, MouseEvent, UIEvent and Event.

Methods of WheelEvent

This interface doesn't define any methods, but inherits methods from its parents, MouseEvent, UIEvent and Event.

Methods of MouseEvent

This interface also inherits methods of its parents, UIEvent and Event.

MouseEvent.getModifierState()

Returns the current state of the specified modifier key. See the KeyboardEvent.getModifierState() for details.

MouseEvent.initMouseEvent()

Initializes the value of a MouseEvent created. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing.

Methods of UIEvent

This interface also inherits methods of its parent, Event.

UIEvent.initUIEvent()

Initializes a UIEvent object. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing.

Methods of Event

This interface doesn't inherit any method.

Event.initEvent()

Initializes the value of an Event created. If the event has already being dispatched, this method does nothing.

Event.preventBubble() Obsolete since Gecko 24

Prevents the event from bubbling. Obsolete, use event.stopPropagation instead.

Event.preventCapture() Obsolete since Gecko 24

Obsolete, use event.stopPropagation instead.

Event.preventDefault()

Cancels the event (if it is cancelable).

Event.stopImmediatePropagation()

For this particular event, no other listener will be called. Neither those attached on the same element, nor those attached on elements which will be traversed later (in capture phase, for instance)

Event.stopPropagation()

Stops the propagation of events further along in the DOM.

Event.getPreventDefault()

规范

浏览器兼容性

[1] IE只能通过 addEventListener 绑定滚动事件，DOM对象上没有onwheel属性. Bug report.

跨浏览器监听滚动事件

以下脚本创建了一个全局的 addWheelListener 方法，它可以兼容各浏览器监听滚动事件，并且阻止默认行为。

// creates a global "addWheelListener" method
// example: addWheelListener( elem, function( e ) { console.log( e.deltaY ); e.preventDefault(); } );
(function(window,document) {

    var prefix = "", _addEventListener, onwheel, support;

    // detect event model
    if ( window.addEventListener ) {
        _addEventListener = "addEventListener";
    } else {
        _addEventListener = "attachEvent";
        prefix = "on";
    }

    // detect available wheel event
    support = "onwheel" in document.createElement("div") ? "wheel" : // 各个厂商的高版本浏览器都支持"wheel"
              document.onmousewheel !== undefined ? "mousewheel" : // Webkit 和 IE一定支持"mousewheel"
              "DOMMouseScroll"; // 低版本firefox

    window.addWheelListener = function( elem, callback, useCapture ) {
        _addWheelListener( elem, support, callback, useCapture );

        // handle MozMousePixelScroll in older Firefox
        if( support == "DOMMouseScroll" ) {
            _addWheelListener( elem, "MozMousePixelScroll", callback, useCapture );
        }
    };

    function _addWheelListener( elem, eventName, callback, useCapture ) {
        elem[ _addEventListener ]( prefix + eventName, support == "wheel" ? callback : function( originalEvent ) {
            !originalEvent && ( originalEvent = window.event );

            // create a normalized event object
            var event = {
                // keep a ref to the original event object
                originalEvent: originalEvent,
                target: originalEvent.target || originalEvent.srcElement,
                type: "wheel",
                deltaMode: originalEvent.type == "MozMousePixelScroll" ? 0 : 1,
                deltaX: 0,
                deltaZ: 0,
                preventDefault: function() {
                    originalEvent.preventDefault ?
                        originalEvent.preventDefault() :
                        originalEvent.returnValue = false;
                }
            };
            
            // calculate deltaY (and deltaX) according to the event
            if ( support == "mousewheel" ) {
                event.deltaY = - 1/40 * originalEvent.wheelDelta;
                // Webkit also support wheelDeltaX
                originalEvent.wheelDeltaX && ( event.deltaX = - 1/40 * originalEvent.wheelDeltaX );
            } else {
                event.deltaY = originalEvent.detail;
            }

            // it's time to fire the callback
            return callback( event );

        }, useCapture || false );
    }

})(window,document);

Gecko notes

滚轮事件和其它的鼠标滚动事件

如果一个用户真实操作触发的滚轮事件没有被处理, 这会触发一个 DOMMouseScroll 事件和一个 MozMousePixelScroll 事件以向下兼容. 它们的属性值由滚轮事件delta值和最近的ancestor clipped元素计算出。(i.e., overflow 不可见). 如果滚轮事件或其它任意一个剩余事件被 event.preventDefault()阻止, 将什么都不会发生。

以下为事件顺序:

1. 滚轮事件处于默认事件组 (web应用和浏览器插件都可以处理这个组的事件)
2. 当连续滚轮事件 deltaY 的值累计大于1或小于－1时，竖直方向的 DOMMouseScroll 事件既属于默认事件组也属于系统事件组
3. 当最近的滚轮事件的 deltaY 值非零时，两个事件组都包含竖直方向的 MozMousePixelScroll 事件
4. 当连续滚轮事件 deltaX 的值累计大于1或小于－1时，两个事件组都包含水平方向的 DOMMouseScroll 事件
5. 当最近的滚轮事件的 deltaX 值非零时，两个事件组都包含水平方向的 MozMousePixelScroll 事件
6. 一个滚轮事件处于系统事件组 (只有浏览器插件可以处理这个组的事件)

如果一个浏览器插件需要知道剩余事件是否被web内容所处理，它可以使用第6个滚轮事件判断，详细内容请查阅系统事件组 nsIEventListenerService 的文档。

通过设置用户偏好可以修改delta值和默认行为 (details)， 因此开发者不应该期望在处理这个事件后发生特殊的行为。

delta 值

delta 值并不代表默认情况下的实际滚动值，如果用户在滚动滚轮时按住其他键，可能会产生其他行为，比如在浏览记录中前进／回退，或者放大／缩小网页内容。 此外，滚动过程中被滚动的元素不一定是目标元素，滚轮事件的目标元素是由事件触发时光标所在位置计算出的。 That event may not only not be the one actually being scrolled, 甚至都不可滚动。

deltaMode 值

在 Windows 下, 以下三个原生事件造成了 DOM 滚轮事件。

WM_MOUSEWHEEL (竖直方向的滚动事件)

deltaMode 值可以是 DOM_DELTA_LINE 或 DOM_DELTA_PAGE。它取决于 Windows 的用户设置 (默认设置为 DOM_DELTA_LINE)。

WM_MOUSEHWHEEL (水平方向的滚动事件)

deltaMode 值可以是 DOM_DELTA_LINE 或 DOM_DELTA_PAGE。然而 Windows 的滚轮速度设置界面和鼠标驱动工具都没有提供改为 page scroll 的选项。 所以这个值通常为 DOM_DELTA_LINE.

WM_GESTURE (Only when caused by panning)

deltaMode 值总是 DOM_DELTA_PIXEL。但请注意大多数笔记本的触摸板都在模拟鼠标滚轮事件而不是调用这个事件， WM_GESTURE 事件通常被平板电脑使用。

在 Mac 下 deltaMode 值由设备决定. 如果设备支持高分辨率像素级滚动, deltaMode 值就是典型的 DOM_DELTA_PIXEL. 然而用户可以通过加前缀"mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling"将其改变为 DOM_DELTA_LINE 。如果设备不支持高分辨率滚动，那么 deltaModel 值将一直为 DOM_DELTA_LINE.

在其它平台下， deltaMode 值总是 DOM_DELTA_LINE.

Untrusted events

非用户真实操作触发的滚轮事件不会引发默认行为。
