I have an XHTML page using fixed position div elements to create a header, table
of contents, main and footer layout. The main div element has "overflow: auto"
set which creates a scrollbar because there is too much content to display dully
in the window. However, the mouse wheel does not scroll the content in that element.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create XHTML page as described in details (I will attach an example page)
2. Scroll the mouse wheel over the main area element
3. Click in the main area element
4. Scroll the mouse wheel

Actual Results:  
After step 2, the content in the element did not scroll.
After step 4, the content in the element did not scroll.

Expected Results:  
After both step 2 and 4, I expect the content of the element to scroll.

Predictably, this also affects drag-scroll functionality on my laptop
(2002112208/win98).
