Gesture events in Firefox 3.5

[Romaric Pascal]

Hi !

I came accros this page about Gesture events on
developper.mozilla.org : https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Mouse_gesture_events.
This sounded cool to implement with a map interface so I decided to
give it a try. My first step was to find how I could register to the
events, so I tried :

function onSwipe(event){ alert("Swipe"); }
window.addEventListener("MozSwipeGesture",onSwipe,true);

But despite all my efforts, I cannot manage to get my little alert.
I'm using FF3.5 on Mac OS X on a Mac Book Pro supporting multitouch.

If anybody has a clue on why this doesn't work, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Romaric Pascal

Hi,

gesture events are still just for chrome. So Firefox UI and addons can
use them, but web content can't.
