Wayne, A few questions if I may. I haven't worked with an emulator and don't have a Mac, and have been using console.log() on iPad to debug touch handlers, which is tedious.
How are the abstract touch gestures performed with the mouse when using the MobiOne emulator? Is the following mapping a correct understanding? click=tap mousedown + mousemove=swipe Can MobiOne do a pinch in some manner, e.g. by ctrl-clicking to set the thumb position and then mouse button down with a mouse move towards or away from that pinned thumb position? iPad Safari fires a tap when the (stationary) fingertip leaves the screen no matter how long it has been in contact with the screen. But I have programmed a quasi-hover or "linger" -- the tap is prevented from occurring if the finger remains stationary upon an object for longer than a threshold time, e.g. 500ms. I am going to attach a tooltip to this "linger" event so the user can be informed about the object being touched without actually invoking its behavior. (This is for more complex applications where buttons do something other than navigate and their purpose is not self-evident.) Would MobiOne's emulator let me do anything I can do now in iPad Safari in the touch events? Create and clear timers? prevent default behavior? stop propagation? etc etc? Can jQuery be used?
