Do you have a specific issue in your own project that you can demonstrate? Or just fretting over old blog posts?

I don't know of any general problem that iScroll or iscrollview have with links. You should not be triggering links, buttons, etc. on the page while you scroll. This is taken-care of with off-the-shelf iScroll and iscrollview without any tinkering.

links take up a lot of space

I'm not clear on what you mean by this. There shouldn't be any difference between links that "take up a lot of space" and any other links. Can you show an example?

YouTube embeds etc

This is a more general issue with jQuery Mobile. It doesn't seem very happy with iFrames. I am only guessing that you may be having some problem with iFrames, because some of the solutions you point to are for dealing with iFrames.

If you have a specific issue with iscrollview, please report it as an Issue on github:

Otherwise, things that get attention are things that affect my own work. Other issues will get attention as I have available time, and then it's valuable to have the issues documented.

Hi there!

Yes sir I do: http://jsfiddle.net/od1999/w8Vg8/

When scrolling over the side panel dropdown links (where there's no non-link space to hold on to if you know what I mean), my gestures seem to get mistaken for clicks. I'm trying to implement SO answer #15248970 as a remedy -- which I've previously used to deal with YouTube, Vimeo etc. embeds inside iScroll pages -- although its CSS creates problems with my dropdowns, so I'm seeking an alternative solution.

But if this is already taken care of by off-the-shelf iScroll and iscrollview, that would be even better. You know, I'm only able to test this stuff on my laptop via mobile emulations on BrowserStack. Smashed my Android phone in the wall a couple of weeks back after an argument over the phone.

O.D.

I can't reproduce the problem.

It works exactly as I would expect, with no unwanted triggering of clicks during scroll, on OSX Safari, iPad, and Android (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2). I can put my finger (or mouse) directly on a link and scroll the list without triggering the link.

Edit: I see a problem, but it is not the problem you described. When I tap on one of the links and release  in the sidebar, I get duplicate links highlighted in yellow. It's unclear to me if this is intended behavior or not. Edit 2: this appears to be intended behavior. This is supposed to be a "dropdown".

It looks like perhaps your Fiddle has some code that is intended to "fix" the problem, and there's no documentation explaining the purpose of the code. If you are going to demonstrate the problem, first remove your proposed "solution".

Cool, I appreciate you taking the time to check.

True, it's the yellow links I'm having trouble scrolling through in Chrome. I just expected I'd be able to click-scroll-down-release, click-scroll-down-release with my mouse -- like I've been able to on other pages with iScroll -- although these pages had a lot of empty space that I could initiate my gestures on, as opposed to this side panel where all the space is made up of links. I expected that iScroll would differentiate between click-scroll-down-release and quick, targeted clicks, kinda like how jQuery hoverIntent knows when a user intends to hover something.

The attempted "fix" in the fiddle is from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15248970/iframe-prevents-iscroll-scrolling-on-mobile-safari, which makes click-scroll-down-release, click-scroll-down-release with my mouse work when initiating the gesture on top of say YouTube embeds. I just assumed I had to apply something similar for links.

So all in all I guess my problem was just an imaginary one? On mobile, scrolling through those yellow links works just fine?

> What is it you are trying to accomplish in the first place? It's not at all clear.

Just the cleanest, most user-friendly mobile side panel possible. If you have any design, usability, optimization tips or whatever, please do share.

Have a good one.

Indeed, was just faulty mobile emulation on PC. Everything works as expected.
