Touch Scroll for Iphone and Ipad with finger scrolling
While there are plenty of frameworks (e.g. jQuery Mobile, SenchaTouch, etc.) that can help get you started with mobile web apps. I found a pure JavaScript library called iScroll 4 very helpfull to create mobile websites. It have a list of nice features like:
'Scroll up and down'
'Snap to element'
'Pinch / Zoom'
iScroll support both iPhone/Ipod touch, iPad and Android.
In this tutorial I will teach you how to use iScroll 4 and implement a pages where you can scroll a part of a window with finger up and down without moving the rest of the screen.
Download iScroll's javascript file from this site:
http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4 - Click on download.
Insert this code in your
tag:<script type="application/javascript" src="iscroll.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var myScroll;
function loaded() {
myScroll = new iScroll('wrapper');
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', loaded, false);
</script>Remember to change src="iscroll.js" to where your placed the file.
Insert this code in your
tag:<div id="wrapper">
<div id="scroller">
<ul>
<li>Content</li>
..
..
</ul>
</div>
</div>In this example the UL element will be scrolled. The iScroll must be applied to the wrapper of the scrolling area.
Final result:
