Jquery - Scroll event on a non scrollable div

Question

example: http://jsbin.com/ofifiy/2/edit#preview

i try to scroll a div (red one) with a non scrollable div (green one). My problem is, when i scroll on the green div, the jquery scroll() does not fire.

HTML

<div id="targetWithNoScroll" style="border:1px solid #0f0;  width:100px; height:100px;">
    scroll here = scroll the red div<br />   
  </div>

JS

$('#targetWithNoScroll').scroll(function() {
  $('body').append('No scroll <br />');
});

You need to bind the mousewheel event to that div. Unfortunately there is no native jQuery mousewheel event, so you have to pick a plugin or write it yourself. But I would recommend taking one of these as it saves you a lot of time:

1) Load jQuery and the Mouse Wheel plugin Mouse Wheel plugin is here.

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/js/jquery.mousewheel.min.js'></script>

2) Attach mousewheel event to body The "30" represents speed. preventDefault ensures the page won't scroll down.

$(function() {
   $("#element").mousewheel(function(event, delta) {
      this.scrollTop -= (delta * 30);
      event.preventDefault();
   });
});
