[jQuery] Capture and manipulate scrollwheel event

[jQuery] Capture and manipulate scrollwheel event


Hi,
This is a speculative question , is there such a method or way to
capture the scrollwheel event and hijack it for your own use? For
example, I am building a page with portfolio pieces on it, I would
like the page to scroll horizontally as opposed to vertically when the
scrollwheel is used.
any suggestions would be highly appreciated,
regards,
Fazal
