From what I understand of wheel mice, the way a mouse wheel works in
most programs (like office and so on) is that it scrolls the vertical
scroll bar. Is there anything usefull you could do with onmousewheel
that you couldnt do if IE just mapped the mouse wheel so that it
scrolled the vertical scroll bar?
