I wasn't aware of the one Remi mentions -- we got a mac mini so we could use the "real" emulator that comes with the SDK. Unfortunately, this isn't available for Windows. We use Safari on Windows to do our testing and it works to some extent -- it supports the animations, but not the "touch" events -- just the normal mouse events.
There's more information about the touch events here: http://www.sitepen.com/blog/2008/07/10/touching-and-gesturing-on-the-iphone/ http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/appleapplications/re ference/safariwebcontent/handlingevents/handlingevents.html By "turn the page", I think you mean a "swipe" event? At any rate, it'll be much easier to have the user touch a button (like with the iPhone email up/down links) and have it animate/slide the page, rather than to support the user swiping the page horizontally (having the element track simultaneously with the user's finger). Matteo Spinelli has coded this (and it's quite complex) for vertical scrolling - and we have it working with the iUI framework now -- but I'm not sure if anyone's coded it for horizontal swiping. You can get an iPhone 3GS from apple for $99 and the contract isn't as expensive as it used to be (if you stick with 200mb of data per month, the data portion of the plan is only $15/mo) -- or you could get an iPod Touch (Safari on the iPod Touch is pretty much identical as what's on the iPhone)... It's pretty tough to develop for a device without actually having one. -- peter rust Development Team Manager -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of RQuadling Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 2:03 AM To: iPhoneWebDev Subject: Touch screen / mouse gesturing. Hi. I have an website which allows our fleet inspectors enter a vehicle number and get details about the work carried out on it. All working quite nicely. Something I'd like to add is the ability for the inspector to "turn the page" from one job to the next. I'm using Prototype.js. What do I watch for this action? I assume it is a mousedown/mousemove combo. If it is, can I do the same thing on a desktop browser. I don't have an iPhone for testing and I'm on Windows. Is there a real iPhone emulator (I'm only interested in the web aspects) for Windows? With the mousedown/mousemove idea (if that is how it works), how does this not get in the way with the cut'n'paste process? I'm not an expert, so please be gentle.
