basic touch/mouse events + munging

tounch_munge.js

// feature detection
	isTouch = "ontouchstart" in window;
	InputHandler = {
		
		startEventType : isTouch ? "touchstart" : "mousedown",
		moveEventType  : isTouch ? "touchmove" : "mousemove",
		endEventType   : isTouch ? "touchend" : "mouseup",
		isTouchDevice  : isTouch,
		
		// normalize an event object generated by a select 
		mungeEvent : function(evnt) {
			 return isTouch ? evnt.originalEvent.touches[0] || evnt.originalEvent.changedTouches[0] : evnt;
		}
	};

// that allows you to do things like

// handle any mouseup events in the designer area

$(".designer").bind(InputHandler.endEventType, function(evnt) {
	
	var end_evnt = InputHandler.mungeEvent(evnt);

	console.log( 'target ' + end_evnt.target);

});
