Angular JS Directive - to disable mouse wheel on input type number

ignoreMouseWheel.js

directive( 'ignoreMouseWheel', function( $rootScope ) {
	return {
		restrict: 'A',
		link: function( scope, element, attrs ){
			element.bind('mousewheel', function ( event ) {
				element.blur();
			} );
		}
	}
} );

// <input type="number" ignore-mouse-wheel ... >

I added a bit to not lose focus on the input:

directive('ignoreMouseWheel', function ($rootScope, $timeout) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
            element.bind('mousewheel', function (event) {
                element.blur();
                $timeout(function () {
                    element.focus();
                }, 10);
            });
        }
    }
});

Basically following a comment on this SO comment: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9712295/disable-scrolling-on-input-type-number

If you want to maintain normal scroll behavior and prevent focus-blur odd blink effects, you can use:

directive('ignoreMouseWheel', function ($document) {
    return {
      restrict: 'A',
      link: function (scope, element) {
        element.bind('mousewheel', function (event) {
          var scrollAmount = event.originalEvent.wheelDelta * -1 + $document.scrollTop();
          event.preventDefault();
          $document.scrollTop(scrollAmount);
        });
      }
    }
  });

It is an angular implementation of http://codepen.io/pixelthing/pen/LIqsg

thx!

Big thanks @carmelc....:)

@carmelc Thanks for that update, but I was wondering if you or anyone else were able to tweak it so it doesn't skip up the page when scrolling over a field. Trying to figure out if the blink or the jump is worse.
Great resources all together though. Really sad there isn't something built into the html for this since it can get really annoying.

I was going to say I opted for the blink, but that also has the side affect of changing what field is focused.

For me it was element.bind('wheel', ... and element[0]

The wheel event is compatible with both Chrome and Firefox. In Firefox, mousewheel does not work. See also here.
