Hi Richard, There are some specific events, but I am not sure they are already standardized.
You may find/test them on this page: http://yura.thinkweb2.com/isEventSupported/ Have a look at iPhone touch/gesture events section. Note fwiw that despite the section's name, touch* events are also supported by android phones (but not the gesture* ones). If you use them, I am curious to know if prototype handle them right (I didn't have time to play with them yet :o) ) Eric On Jul 29, 1:41 pm, Richard Quadling <rquadl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi. > > I'm developing a tiny little web page app which allows vehicle > inspectors to see the work last carried out on a vehicle. > > The display shows the order header (who, when) and the order details (what). > > At the bottom of the display, there are 3 buttons - Prev, New Search, Next. > > The display is fed using AJAX, so no screen redraws and is very responsive. > > Along with the Prev and Next buttons, a user can press 'P' or 'N'. > > The app only has 2 input boxes and a button on the first "page" > (vehicle number and personal pin number for the inspector which is > linked to the contract(s) which are linked to the vehicle). > > The main display has the 3 buttons described above and there is an > error notification "page" (vehicle not found, invalid pin number, > etc.).
