How to prevent app running in phone-gap from scrolling vertically?

Question

I\'m trying out phone gap and I want my application to not scroll up and down when the user drags their finger across the screen. This is my code. Can anyone tell me why it\

Answer 1

Run this code when the page is loaded to disable dragging:

document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);

Here's an example with jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }, false);
});
