Description

handleScroll(e) {
// When we receive a scroll event, schedule an update.
// If we receive many updates within a frame, we'll only publish the latest value.
this.scheduleUpdate({ x: e.clientX, y: e.clientY });
}

I tested this on IE, firefox and Chrome. All I got the e.clientX and e.clientY are undefined.
