Swipe working on windows phone 8 and windows 8 (touch devices)

[dineshduggal]

Made the swipejs plugin also working on a windows touch device (Windows Phone 8 / Windows 8)

@dineshduggal - I manage a fork of Swipe, but don't have a Windows phone in my testing kit yet. What's the behavior of the current implementation of Swipe on a Windows phone? Does the browser refuse to recognize a touch event?

[dineshduggal]

Microsoft has a different model of handling touch events (including the event object you get in the fuction is a little bit different), for more information see: http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2012/11/15/adapting-your-webkit-optimized-site-for-internet-explorer-10.aspx#step4

Nothing happens when I swipe

it is not working with windows phone 8.. i replaced the old swipejs file with this.. but it doesn't work.

[dineshduggal]

I will test the code again to see what goes wrong. Will check in the fix soon.

[dineshduggal]

I have tested it on my HTC 8S with Windows Phone 8 on it and it works. Please note in your HTML you need to remove/change the meta tag "X-UA-Compatible" otherwise the JavaScript can not detect if pointer event model is avaiable due to running IE compatible mode.

For example in the original HTML file of swipejs it contains this meta tag: I have removed this in my code check-in to make it work. Please test with my html and js file to see if it works.

Let me know if this works...

@dineshduggal - I don't have a Windows phone so I can't test this, but does X-UA-Compatible with the latest version of IE work (versus IE8 in the original file)?

<!-- Force latest available IE rendering engine and Chrome Frame (if installed) -->
<!-- Adapted from HTML5 Boilerplate -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">

[dineshduggal]

I did a test with that meta tag and it works fine.

guys, did this get into the release as I'm having the same issues. I've tried those meta-tags but that didn't help. I'm pretty sure my implementation worked before, but I've noticed that after CYAN update it has stopped working. swiping from left to right causes the browser load the previous page (!). owl-swipe plugin for jquery works flawlessly but I would like to avoid to use the jquery

@tfnsw-spatial Nope. @thebird has abandoned this one. Haven't seen any updates or movement here in over a year. You might want to take a look at https://github.com/dimsemenov/PhotoSwipe.

@tfnsw-spatial @cferdinandi Hi Guys, I maintain my own fork of this project with some bug-fixes and new features https://github.com/lyfeyaj/swipe Welcome to submit pull request, feature request or any issues

[cferdinandi]

@lyfeyaj Nice! I'd been doing the same thing for a while, but I just don't have the energy for it anymore. Glad some other folks are taking this on.
