You have touched an iPad. Flipping page after page to skim though a digital magazine, zooming images in and out, even rotate them if you like, pretty cool uh? If you are a web developer and you want to integrate these unique input features all iDevices offer into your applications but you don't have time to read the Object-C Bible, now with Safari mobile browser and its support to CSS3 you can bring them to your audiences by including touchMe jQuery plugin to your next project.

touchMe currently supports tapping, wipping in eight different directions (north, east, south, west, northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest) and multi-touch features including object zooming, scaling and rotation. Each feature can be individually turned on/off. Event handling functions are fully customizable. Implementation

touchMe is nothing more than a jQuery extension. It requires jQuery 1.3+ to be loaded before the library is added to the web page. You can add the code below to load touchMe and the latest version of jQuery or download a copy to host on your web site.

Once the scripts are loaded, you can associate touchMe to one or multiple DOM objects. Once this is done, the objects will react to input from the touch screen.
