 <p>This should work in all browsers:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () { if (document.addEventListener) { document.addEventListener("mousewheel", MouseWheelHandler, false); //IE9, Chrome, Safari, Oper document.addEventListener("DOMMouseScroll", MouseWheelHandler, false); //Firefox } else { document.attachEvent("onmousewheel", MouseWheelHandler); //IE 6/7/8 } function MouseWheelHandler(){ // cross-browser wheel delta e = window.event || e; var delta = Math.max(-1, Math.min(1, (e.wheelDelta || -e.detail))); //scrolling up? if (delta &gt;= 0) { $('body').scrollTop(0); } } }); </code></pre>
