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

For me it work's perfect, when i use the body-selector with jquery. Otherwise i was not able to open external links with Phonegap.

$('body').on('touchmove', function(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault(); 
})
