jQuery UI resizable pinch

Question

Is it possible to add touch pinch support to jQuery UI's resizable? So on an iPad, you wouldn't need to use the specified handles to resize, but you could just use two fingers and pinch on the element to resize.

Answer 1

jQuery UI Touch Punch is exactly what you're looking for. It adds touch event support for jQuery UI and is tested on a variety of platforms including iPad, iPhone, Android and other touch-enabled mobile devices.
