Firefox, textarea and onscroll

Is there any way to get Mozilla to fire an event when a textarea
scrolls? IE seems not to have a problem with it, but Moz just won't
cooperate.

I tried the W3 event model: myTextArea.addEventListener("scroll", fn,
true); - also tried "false" for the phase parameter (apparently this
event neither bubbles nor captures).

I also tried the "singleton" event model: myTextArea.onscroll = fn;

Nothing happens. Any tips / workarounds?

Thanks,
Jeremy

There is an open bug on it
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229089>, it does not look
as if anyone is working on that however.
