Can´t use moveend on body and expect document scrolling to work on mobile devices. about jquery.event.move HOT 4 CLOSED

If you bind a move event to the body, the script assumes you want to move, not scroll, the body. To conditionally suppress scrolling, see the documentation here:

http://stephband.info/jquery.event.swipe/#scroll

from jquery.event.move.

What I really want is to check if the mouse is released anywhere in the document. (Still having the possibility to scroll the document). I only have a handler 'movestart' in a certain element, not in body.

from jquery.event.move.

Yes I see. You want to delegate moveend to handle all moveends for the document. But moveend cancels scroll because it assumes you're listening for a move, not a scroll. You should be able to set up a movestart also on the body, use it to enable scrolling (by calling .preventDefault() if event.target is not one of the things you want to move), and the moveend handler will still pick up delegates from the things you have moved.

It's a bit tricky getting jQuery special events to delegate nicely, and the move events weren't designed with this use case in mind. Should work, though.

from jquery.event.move.

I ended up checking target in the moveStart handler.

$('body').on('movestart', function(e)
{
  if ($(e.target).closest('.event-slider .scrolled-content').length == 0)
    e.preventDefault();
});

Thanks for the help!
