Deltas coming soon to an example near you. ;-)

Okay, I've now added deltas to the example.

Oh such a tease. I played with it for a while, and I can't seem to
get the events to fire with any reliability. It's completely random.
Very frustrating.

Eh? It's very deterministic for me. Slide two fingers straight up
and down, just like using the trackpad on a MacBook.

It's nowhere close to deterministic for me. About 2/3 of the time
that I make that motion it tries to zoom the page. Once the
mousewheels kick in, they continue as long as I keep my fingers down,
but once I release and pinch again, it's back to zooming.

Don't pinch. Use your index and middle finger to pull a straight line
up or push a straight line down.

Very cool, thanks! Seems consistent for me. Also noticed fingers do
not need to be pressed next to each other - I can have one finger on
the left screen edge, one on the right and it still works fine - glad
to see users will not need to be super precise here.

You're welcome, Ed.
I really like the two-finger scrolling gesture from my MacBook, so I
was very pleased to find that we would be able to use it within our
applets.
Anyway, I just updated the example with a cute box on the side of the
log that shows a virtual position so that you could get a better feel
of moving a wheel back and forth.
It's not terribly pretty, but it's pretty good for someone with three
days of Javascript experience who otherwise normally mostly codes
firmware in C and assembly. (Yes, that was me patting myself on the
back...publicly.) ;-)

Oh, ok! Two fingers straight up and down does work! Funny, I've
always used a kind of
pinching motion with my thumb and index finger to scroll on my Macbook
Pro's trackpad.

Great work, Tahoma!

Like the update too. If you are writing firmware in C & asm, JS
should be a cakewalk for you! :-)
