Hi all,

I am using this jQuery scroller http://manos.malihu...._scrollbar.html for a wordpress feed (don't ask). It works fine, but when I am embedding youtube/vimeo clips via iframes you can't use the mouse wheel to scroll when the cursor is over the iframe. It seems the mouse scroll event isn't being fired when it's over an iframe. Is there any way around this do you think?

Thanks!

Ah just found this on a similar thread on stack overflow:

An iframe is going to eat up all your events. You'll either have to get rid of the iframe, or put a transparent element on top of it to catch the events (that'll however make the iframe non-interactable).

Is this really the only solution? I can't believe there isn't another way...
