Mousewheel horizontal scrolling

Question

Referencing to the following example:

http://css-tricks.com/snippets/jquery/horz-scroll-with-mouse-wheel/

It does work under Chrome, but does not under Firefox.

In Firefox you can scroll only using arrow keys but not mousewheel.

Somebody know why this happens?

Answer 1

I made a fiddle where you have a working example of a horizontal mouse scroll.

http://jsfiddle.net/ata68xr6/

using jquery.mousewheel.js and jquery with the function:

$(function() {
   $("html, body, *").mousewheel(function(event, delta) {
       this.scrollLeft -= (delta * 80);
       this.scrollRight -= (delta * 80);
       event.preventDefault();
   });
});
