How to do a horizontal scroll on mouse wheel scroll?

Solution

It looks like he's just mapping the mousewheel event to scrolling the area. In IE, this is really easy by just using the `doScroll()` method - this will scroll the horizontal bar by the amount the vertical bar would normally scroll by. Other browsers don't support the `doScroll()` method, so you have to live with scrolling by an arbitrary amount instead:

var mouseWheelEvt = function (event) {
    if (document.body.doScroll)
        document.body.doScroll(event.wheelDelta>0?"left":"right");
    else if ((event.wheelDelta || event.detail) > 0)
        document.body.scrollLeft -= 10;
    else
        document.body.scrollLeft += 10;

    return false;
}
document.body.addEventListener("mousewheel", mouseWheelEvt);

Problem

Just now, accidentally, i stumble upon http://www.benekdesign.com/ . Here on mouse wheel scroll it performs horizontal scroll. Truly speaking i didn't like this feature. It was a bit irritating. But still, Please tell me how to achieve the same.
