Which Javascript libraries can be used to mimic the native scrolling behavior on an IOS device (mainky iPad) Even jQuery based libraries would be fine.
Also before u say, I know the most common is iScroll https://github.com/cubiq/iscroll
But i want to know more…
Please list as many as you could. Thank u.
Scrollability by Joe Hewitt is a recently-developed implementation that does a pretty good job of mimicking the native scrolling on iOS devices. However, it is by his own admission a “work-in-progress” and not ready for production use.
Additionally, iOS 5 will have direct native scrolling support via the
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touchCSS property and value. Setting that along withoverflow: scrollon an element will make scrolling behave like scrolling a panel in a native app: one finger, native-style momentum and behavior. Basically everything that takes a good chunk of JavaScript can be replaced with two CSS properties.The downside is that since it is only in the iOS beta, you still have to use a script as a fallback until iOS 5 is mainstream (not just released), Android adopts it (and that release becomes mainstream), etc. We will need a fallback for a good while yet.
You can get more details at FunctionSource and this blog. Again, this isn’t of use today but will be useful in the next 6 to 12 months (possibly longer for other platforms).
