Handle iPhone Events (like slide-left) in Mobile Web Site

Does the iPhone browser have special events that I can hook into with Javascript? For instance, if the users slides to the left, I would like to perform a certain action. If there are events like this available, it would be nice to see a reference for all of them. ideally, the开发者_Go百科re will someday be a standard for all touch-screen mobile browsers.

You can access multi-touch events and gestures, but there is a fair amount of under-the-hood plumbing you'll likely have to handle yourself. Here is Apple's guide:

As an example of what can be done with a MobileSafari web app, check out this article on Apple's in-house "PastryKit":

Particularly, you can use Safari on Windows or Mac (if you enable the developer menu in the preferences and set the useragent to MobileSafari 3.x) and check out the way it works.

Another UI library to look at is jQTouch:

jQTouch really does the thing. http://jqtouch.com

Do you really mean "when the device orientation changes", perhaps? If so, you may want to bind to the onorientationchange event.

There's a useful reference of all on* events at Apple's Safari Reference Library.

Perhaps the onscroll, ontouchstart, ontouchmove, or similiar events are what you're looking for. All listed on the Safari HTML Reference page.
