Question about window being scrolled

[Henri]

Hi,

Ok, I want to know if it's possible to let some javascript "monitoring" function know if the browser
window is currently being scrolled, either via the scroll wheel or via the vertical handle. I want
to stop a certain piece of code from executing (it uses the settimeout callback) while the user
scrolls up or down and then resume when the scroll has ended.

I could repeatedly check for changes in scroll value but I'm curious to know if such a thing is, so
to speak, built-in.

Thanks

don't bother: I just came across the onscroll event.
