DOMException failed to execute 'setPointerCapture' on 'Element' and 'releasePointerCapture'

Question

I have created a hybrid app in which I used bxslider and placed div inside it as follow,

<div class="bxslider">
            <div id="chart1" style="text-align:center">
                <span id="barChartTitle">Bar Chart</span>
                <svg id="chartCanvas" class="margintop40"></svg>
            </div>
            <div id="chart2" style="text-align:center">
                <span id="trendChartTitle">Trend Chart</span> 
                <svg id="chartCanvas" class="margintop40"></svg>
            </div>
        </div>

when ever I make a touch over the bxslider in the html view I receive the following error,

   jquery.bxslider.js:1109 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'setPointerCapture' on 'Element': InvalidPointerId
    at HTMLDivElement.onTouchStart (http://localhost:8100/js/jquery.bxslider.js:1109:34)

    at HTMLDivElement.q.handle (http://localhost:8100/js/jquery-3.1.1.min.js:3:8342)

I searched a lot but couldn't find out why the error occurs, please help.

Answer 1

Here is a workaround that works. Use this snippet of code:

var chromePointerEvents = typeof PointerEvent === 'function'; if (chromePointerEvents) { if (orig.pointerId === undefined) { return; } }

Insert after:

touchPoints = (typeof orig.changedTouches !== 'undefined') ? orig.changedTouches : [orig];

of file jquery.bxslider.js
