Trigger 'dummy' mouse wheel event

Question

Is there a way to trigger a scroll wheel event with an arbitrary delta. Just like jQuery does with 'click' like:

$('#selector').trigger('click');

I need something like that just with an scrollwheel like:

$('#selector').trigger('DOMMouseScroll',{delta: -650});
//or mousewheel for other browsers

I can't do anything like 'fake it' with css trickery, I need to trigger the actual native (or as close as possible) event.

Thankyou!

You need to use jQuery.Event For example:

// Create a new jQuery.Event object with specified event properties.
var e = jQuery.Event( "DOMMouseScroll",{delta: -650} );

// trigger an artificial DOMMouseScroll event with delta -650
jQuery( "#selector" ).trigger( e );
