My question concerns the swipe event on a mobile device (I'm using a Nexus 7) with Chrome. I am working off the Jquery Mobile 1.4.2 demo which can be found here:

http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.4.2/swipe-page/

The sample javascript is copied verbatim from the demo, I would copy it here but its a little long.  The code doesn't seem to be the issue, this is a browser question.  I can get everything to work, both on my laptop (using Chrome) and on my tablet (using Firefox), but the swipe works maybe one out of ten times in Chrome with my tablet (ie repeatedly swiping the screen and the event firing only sometimes). This doesn't make sense to me, any advice on how to improve this? Thanks!
