title: Microsoft Surface: How do I allow JavaScript touch/drag events to work without being intercepted by the browser?
body: <p>I have a Google Maps map on my web site, but when using it with a Microsoft Surface tablet, the "pan" gesture is intercepted by the browser -- it tries to go to the next browser window. How do I allow the pan (drag event) to be ignored by the browser so the map behaves normally? Going to <code>maps.google.com</code>, the map is perfectly dragable, so there must be a workaround that Google employs.</p>
