Okay,

I'm using iScroll version 3.7.1. I'm using it for iphone (phonegap)
development. It's a life saver.

However, I was having a problem with iScroll that made drop down lists
unusable when used at the same time.

On Matteo's website I tried one of the suggestions by Udi which was
to:

"Add the following code at the beginning of handleEvent:
var theTarget = e.target;
if (theTarget !== null && theTarget.tagName === ‘SELECT’) {
return false;"

However, that didn't quite work out for me. It made the drop down list
work but iScroll was unusable.

So this is what I did:

In the touchStart function make sure to add the following condition:

if (e.target.tagName != "SELECT")
{
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
}

We don't want iScroll to stop the propagation of the event if we
touched on a select box (drop down list). The event can then be
normally propagated and trigger the appropriate behavior on iphone
drop down list ui.

Hello guys,


I'm joining the iscroll party and have also a lot of issues to
solve :p

I can confirm, that this workaround seems to be fine - at least it
solved my issue.

Thank you.It's really superb solution.
I'm using iscroll.v4.1.9.
i have modified the code at line 100..the  modified code is

  onBeforeScrollStart: function (e) {
           if (e.target.tagName != "SELECT") {
               e.preventDefault();
               e.stopPropagation();
           }
       },


 It's working fine on Mac OS. 
But in android input type "text" is not allowing me to enter any data.
Please let me know , any one is having solution for this.

Thanks,
Prasad Reddy
