Swiping disables scrolling about jquery-touch-events HOT 5 CLOSED

Update: The links that I provided were tested on a BlackBerry Playbook. When I test it on an Android tablet, the server presents a different page. This is an "intelligent" attempt by the server to present a PC-enabled web page in a mobile-enabled form, and it fails dramatically. You will probably have a similar experience on an Apple device. If you don't have a Playbook in your pocket, you probably won't be able to replicate the problem.

Line 253 of the library prevents the default action when a touchMove event occurs. Try removing that from the code and see if it helps. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a PlayBook at the moment. If you could try removing that line and re-testing, that'd be great. If everything works out, I'll update the code.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention,
Ben.

I think you mean line 252 [event.preventDefault();].

When I commented this, the vertical scrolling worked, but the horizontal swiping reverted to scroll left/right.

Your code contains a few syntax errors. I suggest you should validate it at http://www.jslint.com/ (although I don't think this is relevant to my problem).

I have copied the files to an alternative server. You should be able to replicate the problem at http://www.ccsilks.com/temp/chris/mirage_samples/index.html.

Thanks for your comments, I did indeed mean line 252 (typo on iPad).

Please ignore the errors purported by jsLint. Even running jQuery's core code through there indicates a number of syntax errors. The so-called errors are not in fact that, but rather formatting and stylising preference suggestions. They can largely be ignored.

I believe that changing the line from preventDefault() to stopPropagation() may fix the problem, but I will have to do some more testing tomorrow.

I have now pushed a new version of the code, which should now fix the issues with scrolling and swipe events. Instead of preventing the default behaviour for touchMove, the swipe* events are handled in the touchMove.

This should fix the issue, and I have tested on iOS 4 and 5 (both on iPad and iPhone), so I am closing this. In case you run into any further problems, please start a new issue here based on the revised code.
