Jquery Swipe without jQuery mobile library
jquery, swipe, touch
Solution
If it's just jQuery mobile which you don't want to use, try hammer js which is lightweight and has a lot of options.
If however you're completely opposed to using any library at all have a look at the different touch events available:

Problem
I know that this subject has been covered extensively on Stackoverflow but I cannot find a definitive answer. I am successfully detecting if the client device is a touch screen: ``` if(!!('ontouchstart' in window)){ // detect swipe } ``` However, I cannot figure out how to detect a swipe/hover over an element. Please note that I want to be able to do this without the jquery mobile library. Here is my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/k77aC/9/ Thank you in advance, Alan.
