Improve touch support

[emwee]

Hi,

Swiping the datepicker (because I want to scroll past it) causes the day (read: date cell) I happened to touch to swipe, to be selected. This is because swiping triggers a mousedown event.

I'm not quite sure why the mousedown event was chosen over the mouseup event, but right now this is causing usability issues for me on mobile.

Could the event be easily replaced? Or perhaps it is possible to detect a touch event, in which case the date selection can be prevented?

Thanks in advance!

No one?

Please note I am using the inline datepicker.

Edit: my assumption was wrong. The 'touchend' event causes the date to be selected, not the 'mousedown' event. Removing the 'touchend' event fixes the swiping issue on mobile when the datepicker is displayed inline, but prevents the date from being selected when binding the datepicker to an input field.

In case anyone else is trying to figure this out, this worked for me on Pikaday 1.5.1 with a non-bound datepicker:

      var picker = new Pikaday({
        field: document.querySelector("#datepicker"),
        bound: false,
        container: document.querySelector("#datepicker-container"),
        onOpen: function () {
          if (!!window.removeEventListener) {
            this.el.removeEventListener("touchend", this._onMouseDown, true);
          } else {
            this.el.detachEvent('on' + "touchend", this._onMouseDown);
          }
        }
      });

Is there any other workaround for having tap events select the dates, but still allow swiping the screen to scroll without selecting the dates?

Still experiencing on mobile the jumping of 2 months.

Any updates re: this?
