Touch Events in Windows Phone 7 Mango IE

Question

Will the IE in WP7 Mango support Touch events like iOS or Android? The touch events seems will become a standard in W3C: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/tip/touchevents.html. IE 9 said it follow the standards, does anyone know whether it will support touch events? Thanks.

Answer 1

It currently supports no touch events. All you need do to prove it is something simple like this:

document.ontouchstart = function() { alert("TS"); }
document.ontouchmove = function() { alert("TM"); }
document.ontouchend = function() { alert("TE"); }

None of these will fire in IE9 mobile.

Answer 2

It doesn't currently support touch events.
