  5. var touches = event.changedTouches,
  6. first = touches[0],
  7. type = "";

  50. //and what i've done here is create a load_function yield statement that attaches init() to the body onload= tag if you are using rails - otherwise just do <body onload="init();">
  51.  
  52. <% load_function "init();"%>
