jQuery mobile swipe event should not work on desktop?

[m2244]

Hello,

So, I have the jQuery mobile swipe working on tablets and phones which is good. But it also fires on the desktop with a mouse swipe. This means that a user cannot highlight text. I thoguth this was something that would only work on mobile devices.

How can I fix this?

$(document).ready(function(){	  

	var path = getModuleDataUrl();
	$.get(path, function(xmlFile)
		{
			$.ajax({
				type: "GET",
				url: path,
				dataType: "text",
				success: parseXml
			});
	});
	
	$('#containerContainer').live("swipeleft", function(){
		goToNext();
 
	});

	$('#containerContainer').live("swiperight", function(){
		goToPrev();
	 
	 });
	
});

m2244 take this with a bit of salt, because I do not program for mobile devices. I am pretty sure .live is depreciated and the .on should be used.
Neither here nor there. It appears that the problem is the selector. Maybe you need one that refers to a mobile device only. I did find this and do hope it works for you:
