In my last scripting article, I showed you how to use native JavaScript to disable mouse wheel scrolling and re-enable it afterwards. Now that you know it (you read it right?), I will show you the simpler MooTools way. All in 2 lines of code.
I occasionally need to block mouse wheel scrolling when I’m working with JavaScript. Of course, this is only momentary, such as when I need to display an overlay of some sort. See how to do it properly
