Mozilla Developer NetworkNon-standard
Note: Gecko doesn't have a plan to implement this feature due to legacy event and non-standard.
The DOM MouseWheelEvent represents events that occur due to the user turning a mouse wheel.
Use standardardized WheelEvent instead of this legacy event object if available.
