Detecting if onscroll events working / supported in browser

Question

Is there a way to find out if javascript onscroll event is supported in a browser? Because i am working on a WebApp for android and iphones, and the onscroll event is working for android but not for iphone.

So is there any way in javascript by which i can detect if its supported in that browser?

onscroll should just work in the newer versions of iOS. What version are you testing on? — Gerben, Sep 15 '11 at 14:37
Checking for event support: `typeof window.onscroll!=="undefined"` or `Object.getPrototypeOf(window).hasOwnProperty("onscroll")` — Andrew D., Sep 15 '11 at 14:44

Checking for event support:

typeof window.onscroll!=="undefined";

or

Object.getPrototypeOf(window).hasOwnProperty("onscroll");

javascript scroll event for iPhone/iPad?
