title: Chrome on Windows 8 Mouse Down/Up/Move Touch Screen
body: <h2>This question is outdated</h2>
  
  <h2>The problem doesn't exist in newer versions of Chrome</h2>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Chrome doesn't implement <code>touchstart</code> and other touch events, so I would assume <code>mousedown</code> would be triggered.  Here's a simplified example:</p>
  
  <h2><a href="http://codepen.io/brigand/full/ixmLq" rel="nofollow">fullscreen demo</a> [ <a href="http://codepen.io/brigand/pen/ixmLq" rel="nofollow"><em>code</em></a> ]</h2>
  
  <p>A coffeescript snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).on 'mousemove', (e) -&gt;
    $('.follow').css
      left: e.pageX
      top: e.pageY
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get this to respond to touching the screen in Chrome on Windows 8?</p>
