To prevent the default scrolling of a page I'm adding an event listener for "touchstart" events on the body and calling event.preventDefault() This works fine but I now can't access the debug console as it requires a page drag? Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a work around?

Hmm, interesting. Perhaps you can limit the scope of the bind to a less-encompassing region of the page, let's say an 'inner div' on the page, but not an 'outer div'? Then, perhaps you can leave yourself a small amount of margin between them for you to invoke the console?

The only problem with this approach is that a user may swipe this area and scroll the page? I think what I may need to do is identify the element the console output is in (if it is an element?) and move it down?
