Touch Image Gallery vs IE

[Barefoot]

1) Script Title: Touch Image Gallery

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/touchgallery.htm

3) Describe problem:
When clicking a bullet in the bottom nav bar, IE returns the error:

It also does this on the demo at the DD site.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

In what versions of IE do you get the problem? Testing the script in IE10 and IE9 right now, both seem to pass the test.

I am running IE ver. 8.0.6001.18702.

Use this modified version of the script (right click and 'Save As'):

If you're wondering what the problem is, it's at the end on that line specified by your error message. Best I can tell the cross browser normalization of events is being overridden by the jquery.touchSwipe.min.js (Github) script, so needs to be done manually (highlighted in the below):


$jumptodiv.swipe({
tap: function(e){e = e || event; e.target = e.target || e.srcElement; // this normalizes the event and the event target
if (e.target.tagName == 'SPAN'){ //this is the problem line
var $target = $(e.target)
navigate( parseInt($target.data('image')) )
}
}
})
})
}



But you don't have to worry about it. Just save and use the modified version I've attached to this post.

The browser cache may need to be cleared and/or the page refreshed to see changes.

Thank you John.

All is working well now.
