The problem doesn't exist in newer versions of Chrome

I'm working on a drag-to-select jQuery plugin, which is working. The problem, is that on the touch screen, it just scrolls the page.

Chrome doesn't implement `touchstart` and other touch events, so I would assume `mousedown` would be triggered. Here's a simplified example:

A coffeescript snippet:

```
$(document).on 'mousemove', (e) ->
  $('.follow').css
    left: e.pageX
    top: e.pageY

```

How can I get this to respond to touching the screen in Chrome on Windows 8?
