tinfanide Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 var evt, delta, d;function show(e){evt = window.event || e;delta = (evt.detail) ? evt.detail*(-120) : evt.wheelDelta ;delta = (delta>0) ? delta/delta : (delta/delta)*-1 ;return delta;}var move = (!document.all) ? "DOMMouseScroll" : "onmousewheel" ;if(document.attachEvent){document.attachEvent(move,show);}else if(document.addEventListener){document.addEventListener(move,show,false);} window.onload = function(){console.log(show());} I want the show function to return the mousescroll value to be used in another function.But it returns evt being undefined (in the debugger).

Ingolme Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This part isn't going to give any data: window.onload = function(){console.log(show());} The event object only has data when the event fires. Use console.log() inside the show() function and look for data when the mouse wheel scrolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works in IE but in FF9, it says evt is undefined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's the exact same problem. The function that takes the event object needs to be the function that you tell it to run when the event happens. You're trying to use an event object in "func", but then you're telling it to run "f" when the event happens. So f gets the event object, not func. The first event handlers will work when you tell it to run func, but not when you tell it to run f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first event handlers will work when you tell it to run func, but not when you tell it to run f. I'm not sure if I have understood from your words or not:var evt = (!document.all) ? "DOMMouseScroll" : "onmousewheel" ;if(document.attachEvent){document.attachEvent(evt,f);}else if(document.addEventListener){document.addEventListener(evt,f,false);}function func(e) // the parameter "e" is passed to the "e" below{ evt = window.event || e; // this "e" is used by Firefox delta = (evt.detail) ? evt.detail*-120 : evt.wheelDelta; return delta;}function f(e){alert(func(e));} In my previous not working codes, the parameter in func() is not the same to the evt variable (e);Andin the function f, the event should be passed to the function func within the function f. Anyway, the above codes should work in both IE and FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Right, that should work, although I don't see the point of the f function when the other one does all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
