Void element error about jquery-touch-events

[benmajor]

The callback function has nothing to do with how the library functions? Don't forget that these are simply events, whatever you put in the callback is your responsibility!

OK I will handle it. It just seemed to me that the swipeleft and swiperight functions somehow are incorrectly sharing a setting.

Could you put together a jsFiddle so that I can check?

[ctwist]

I couldn't get jsFiddle to do anything useful; it silently discards any external resource that I attach.
I have a workaround; if I ensure that I don't process a null element, everything works correctly.
I won't spend any more time on this.

I have a solution for this.

I found that for the example that I described, touchMove is called twice, the first time with the correct starting coordinates, and the second time with (0,0). The second call thinks that swiping has started, and that it started at (0,0), so it triggers swipedown incorrectly.

I switched the final 2 statements, i.e.
started = false;
$this.trigger('swipe').trigger(swipedir);

This eliminated the second call of touchMove, and the behaviour is now correct.

Thank yo for your assistance, I have now updated the code and everything should be fine.
