Sorry I am not able to test on IE with touch :(

[hum-n]

IE doesn't support touch events. You can add pointer events to make it work in IE or add a touch events polyfill.

Also, you can't scroll with some trackpads in IE and Edge because wheel events don't work. I don't know how this one could be fixed. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/7134034/

@AntoineBoulanger thanks for the useful information. But I'm afraid introducing pointer events API is not that easy because:

1. Pointer events API provides an absolutely different interface from touch events, which means we may have to start over.

2. It requires an additional polyfill.

I'm looking for a workaround to the touch events issue 😃

Hey I've just found something interesting from hakimel/reveal.js#450. It appears that all we need is to apply the style rule -ms-touch-action: none; on the container element.

Can anyone help me to test this black magic?
