I am building a HTML5 app using these jquerymobile versions. jquery-1.8.3.min.js jquery.mobile-1.3.0.min.js

this app will be running inside a hybrid app container. I am using the one on iOS platform. This container can have multiple hybrid apps inside it.

With that said, whenever app is in portrait mode and if you swipe right it usually brings up the menu from the iOS container. But since the swipe event is included in the current jquerymobile version the jquery's event handler gets called and it never goes to the native app's control.

In the past when I used these jquery versions jquery-1.6.4.min.js, jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js this worked just fine. so my guess its the introduction of the swipe event could be the culpprit. :)

Is there any way I can disable the swipe event from the jquery so that I can still us the iOS container's event?

Can someone shed some light on it ?

Thank you in advance.
