I have a html jquery mobile multi-page and using swipeleft and swiperight events to flip pages.
it works great.

Now I wanna disable the vertical scroll.

From solution I found in stackoverflow, it suggest to use the following

$(document).delegate('.ui-content', 'touchmove', false);

but in this case, the original swipeleft and swiperight events are disabled too.

Is there a way that I can disable the vertical scroll while keeping the swipeleft and swiperight events?

You could add the following to your

<script>
    function BlockMove(event) {
      // Tell Safari not to move the window.
        event.preventDefault();
    }
    </script>

and add this to your body tag

<body onload="setTimeout(function() { window.scrollTo(0, 1) }, 100);" ontouchmove="BlockMove(event);">

This will disable the page scrolling allowing you to swipe
