How and can I disable touch events in Javascript?

Question

I would like to force to disable touch events with Chrome and by pass the option set up to automatic by default in the chrome preferences. I know users can disable it in chrome://flags but I would like to drive it programmatically.

I have noticed that 'ontouchstart' in window is not interpreted the same way on each browser.

Is it possible in javascript to reset this value ?

Solution

You should be able to bind to the touchmove event:

$('*').bind('touchmove', false);
