Attribute ontouchmove not allowed on element div at this point.

On the following code:

<div id="someDiv" ontouchmove="onTouchmove(event)" ontouchend="noTouch(event)"></div>

Doctype is:

Keep it out of the dom

With jQuery it would look like:

$('#someDiv').live('ontouchmove',function(e){
    onTouchmove(e);
});

$('#someDiv').live('ontouchend',function(e){
    noTouch(e);
});
