jquery horizontal scroll with mousewheel

Question

I currently have a site that is a sidescroller (http://www.studioimbrue.com) and I'm trying to bind a mousewheel to scroll sideways. Currently I'm using the one found at thehorizontalway.com (called thw.js) but it doesn't seem to work in all browsers (Chrome).

I'm trying to get this one to work: http://brandonaaron.net/code/mousewheel/docs , to simply scroll the whole window, nothing else. There is very limited documentation so I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I just answered this question about scrolling a div horizontally, I also included some code to use the mousewheel or just grab and drag with the mouse... maybe some of that code will give you an idea?

To elaborate a bit, the mousewheel function gives you the event object and the delta.

$('#container').bind('mousewheel', function(event,delta){
 if (delta > 0) {
   // mousewheel is going up; 
 } else {
   // mousewheel is going down 
 }
});

The value of delta depends on how fast you scroll the wheel. I've seen a range from +50 to -50 if you try really hard :P
