That can't be done as such. But you can tell us your actual need so that we can think for an alternate solution.

that is quite true :) ... and one more note: struggling with the users devices is just bad UI-design/usability design, the user WANTS to use his screen the way he configured it (maxing browser-windows is bad), his mouse-buttons and wheels (he bought it may be especially for this usage he wanted 3 or even more buttons), he wants to copy&paste per mouse or keyboard (he learned it and it is common usage), etc. ... so in case you think that he shouldn't do so you should have a content or some cool things at your site so that the user will accept the annoying suppressing of his learned behaviour ... or you should have a very, very good new usability-concept ...
kind regards

You can disable or control the behaviour of the middle button and mousewheel in about:config or in the preferences in Firefox, though again, that is up to each individual user and cannot be set using JavaScript. Not sure about Opera.

click on outside of the PictureBox object, then click as many times as
I like on the PictureBox the scrolling with the mouse wheel continues
to work.

Hi,
If on an asp.net page the user has just selected a value in a dropdownlist
and scrolls with the wheel of his mouse, the selected value of the
dropdownlist will change.
How could I avoid this.
So how could I disable the mouse scrolling that dropdownlist.
Or how could I disable the mouse-scroll on those pages.

Hello,
I need to able to write JS that will click on a link with the middle
mouse button - so that the link target will open in a new window or
tab - using firefox. Or is there a better (more reliable) way to have
the link open in a new window/tab (using JS)? I have no control over
the JS already on the page - this is for a selenium user extension
that I'd like to write.
