Conditionally block scrolling/touchmove event in mobile safari

Question

iOS 5 now allows native overflow: scroll support.

What I\'d like to do is disable the touchmove event for everything except elements that have the \'scrolla

Answer 1

We can use the touchstart event instead of touchmove event. Under One Finger Events it says that no events are sent during a pan, so touchmove may be too late.

I added the listener to document, not body.

document.ontouchstart = function(e){ 
  e.preventDefault(); 
}
