iPhone Safari Gestures: Two-finger scroll within a text area

December 9th, 2009 / No Comments

Safari on the iPhone and iPod touch is one of the most advanced web browsers on earth. I learned a new gesture for it today:

Two-finger scroll

To scroll up or down within a text area, an inline frame, or an element with overflow capability, depending on the direction of the movement.

You can receive a mousewheel event for this gesture.
