mh, it doesn't really work in safari 3...

@Jireck the added color line I think ruined that plugin, not to mention that it used canvas so it didn't work in IE. If the interface is intuitive and the user knows he/she has to make "gestures" to do things then the visual feedback is really quite pointless.
@LingLing that's odd, anyone else having this problem with Safari 3? I only have Safari 4 installed at the moment. Seems that if it works in all the other browsers it ought to work in Safari 3 too.

Evan, nice idea. I tried the Simple Gestures demo on my iPhone, and could get nothing to register. It seems as if Safari Mobile's native tendency to scroll the page with the slight vertical movement overrides your plugin. Perhaps a sensitivity adjustment would help?

Sean, thanks for testing that for me! Perhaps it would work in a Titanium app where it isn't actually running in Safari Mobile.

Great plugin, this can be used as an alternative captcha method (follow the path or something like that).
Great job!

Ivan, if I understand you correctly that's what magnitude is used for.

I couldn't get it to work on the iphone.
It tries to scroll the page instead.

Unfortunately, it does not work in the iPhone safari browser because the scrolling functionality overrides the gestures script.
I'm not sure but it may work in a development environment like titanium.

All demo of blank pages, and nothing happens. Maybe I did not understand what they need?

You click, drag, and then release your mouse on the demo pages to perform gestures, which cause certain events.

Evan I am wanting to use Super Gestures for a website I am working on. I have posted a question on stack overflow on how to utilise your plugin. I wonder if you can help me, rather than clog up your blog the question is here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2190582/jquery-mouse-gestures-btn-queuing, Many thanks!

I wonder why you have to click once anywhere within the website, before any events are registered? this also happens in the demos.

@Anders, I think it has something to do with the frame not being focused on page load.
