I can't replicate this behavior in Firefox, which leads me to believe
that it's an IE-only behavior and therefore a user-agent, not an HTML,

I know of no such technique, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist
;-) As you'd be altering the usual (if incorrect) behavior of the user
agent, I would advise against it.

If it's a real problem, get the users to switch to Firefox :D

Thanks Tim,

Yes, I should have specified that it is an IE only issue and of course
windows too, since it is the mouse wheel. Unfortunately my users are
bound to IE as a matter of department policy and because a large number
of them use assistive technologies that only work properly with IE.
