How can you detect that a user swiped his finger in some direction over a web page with JavaScript?
I was wondering if there was one solution that would work for websites on both the iPhone and an Android phone.

A:
what i've used before is you have to detect the mousedown event, record it's x,y location (whichever is relevant) then detect the mouseup event, and subtract the two values.

I'm trying to accomplish the same. I use jQtouch (javascript framework using jQuery) which provides a swipe event. It works fine on iPhone, but I'm still looking up for Android (Chrome Lite).

I stumbled upon a site that provides a solution for the iPhone but has anyone been able to get it working on the Android phones? http://ajaxian.com/archives/swipe-flip-iphone

I created a demo, which works with mouse or finger, try it out, it has sample code for you to use as well
