jQuery Touch Plugin

Here’s an interesting-looking new jQuery plugin release for those of you doing iPhone Web development:

I have written a jQuery plugin that can use the built in Touch methods including ontouchstart, ontouchend, ontouchmove, ongesturestart, ongesturechange and ongestureend.

You may specify what options you want available for the specified
target(s), including: animate, dragx, dragy, rotate, resort and scale.

    Wow, how did I only just now find out you got this site!?

    I should probably make the switch soon myself…

    Apparently you don’t read my LJ more often than every three months!

    Greetings,

    Just wanted to provide an update. Just wrote another plugin that I thought you might like since you listed it on your site.

    jQuery Flick: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/flick
    DEMO: http://manifestinteractive.com/iphone/flick/

    This plugin adds Apple iPod/iPhone (firmware 2.0 ) flick/scroll functionality to jQuery. Use built in Touch methods including ontouchstart, ontouchend and ontouchmove.

    Includes rubber banding if the user scrolls past the top/bottom of the scrollable region. There is also an internal division ontouchstart to place over any clickable elements. This prevents items that are in the scrollable region from being clicked while you are in mid scroll.
