Question

Good day. I got an HTML page which is small and has no scroll bar. However i need to determine when and what direction scroller was moved. So i need to determine scroll button on my mouse is moving.

How can i do it?

Answer 1

Check out the jQuery Mousewheel plugin. Then you can simply bind an event to any element to check if the wheel was used while the mouse was over it.

$('body').mousewheel(function(delta){
    // Do stuff
});

Note that it’s not too user friendly to not have a scrollbar and rely only on the mousewheel. There are other ways people expect to be able to scroll, like the arrow keys for example.
