Horizontal scrolling with the mouse wheel has been implemented. Mouse wheel events can be detected via the wheelDeltaX event property on webkit and the axis event property on firefox. However, it doesn't appear that any version of IE passes a property in the event that allows you to determine if the scrolling is horizontal or vertical. So, in the case of IE horizontal scrolling fires vertical scrolling events. Additionally, opera doesn't even fire a mousewheel event when you scroll horizontally with the mouse.

Some more testing and research will need to be conducted in order to find solutions to these compatibility issues.
