Why ('ontouchstart' in window) is false on a touch tablet with Windows 8

I use Java Script to determine if my Web-Site is running on Tablet touch device
The device is Assus tablet with windows 8

Are you assuming that the return value is false because it is not true? According to [https://github.com/phoboslab/Ejecta/pull/173 this], null is sometimes returned instead of true. If false is actually returned, then I would think it is a fault with the tablet's browser. Either that or in the browser's settings there are options to pretend the device is something else (for testing purposes); there is no reason why these should be selected by default though.
If that's no help then please give us further details (such as the browser you are using).

  • Why don't the new 4th gen ipod touches come with the headphones with a mic?

    They came with the 3rd generation 32g & 64g ipod touches, why dont they come with the 4thgen ipod touches -___- Those headphones are expensive and i would like them to at least include a **** charger too.

    Probably because the earlier iPod Touchs did not have a built-in mic like the 4G does.

  • With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version?

    With previous editions of iTunes for Windows, I could play a CD at the same time as it was being imported. That does not seem to work anymore. Why not, and is there a way to do both with the most current version? I am running a Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1 and the most recent vesion of iTunes, which, in all other respects, works well. I just can't listen to an album for the 1/2 to 1 hour that it takes to import it into my library.

    Two JVM's ? I thought that J2EE worked within a single JVM and run everything in containers. Can you see the two processes?

    As as been announced in the News worldwide, "Maps" is structurally defective and Apple itself is recommending that Users use a different 3rd party map app until they can sort it out.

  • I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer.  When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled?  Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

    I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer.  When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled?  Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
    Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
    In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
    Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
    In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
    You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
    Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
    If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

  • Why Non fluid canvas rotation (wacom tablet with touch gestures)

    Hello!
    I just got photoshop at home, and i am using it with my wacom intuos touch tablet on windows 8.1.
    I notice that when i use my fingers to rotate, zoom and pan, i am not getting the behavior that was announced on this video:
    Microsoft Surface Pro 3 - Launch Full Event - Tuesday, May. 20 - YouTube
    More precisely, the behavior of the 2 fingers tap to reset the view does not happen with my tablet.
    Also, the whole thing is really not fluid, especially the rotations.
    Though, when i am using the rotate view tool to rotate, it is totally fluid.
    Similarly, when i pan with the hand tool, the movement is also fluid.
    Why such a difference? What am i missing?
    Thanks in advance!
    Config:
    I7-4770, 3.4 ghz
    16gb Ram
    Nvidia Geforce Gtx 760

    Is there a possibility that this feature only works with the touch system of the Microsoft Surface, and not with the touch surface of the wacom tablet?

  • HT1528 Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

    Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

    Hi UI Guy,
    I can't provide the technical reason, however, I'm farilry certain it is a function of Forum structure itself.
    Don't know if you are interested in suggestions to meet your need to "bookmark pages within the Apple Support system so you can refer back to them easily", but I use them regularly, and do this one of two ways (I use both):
    If it is strictly an Apple Support page that I retrieved from Apple, I bookmark it with clear easy to find names, and put them in my Apple Support Folder in my bookmarks (I use Firefox). That way, when I need to provide a link to someone I'm replying to, I can quickly find the item I want them to be able to link to.
    I also bookmark discussions that have links in them that I may want to use, and tag them so I can find them later.
    I have to say, however, that for Apple Support Pages, the best solution for me has been to have my Apple Folder with my personally named bookmarks in Firefox. Easy to find, easy to cut and paste into a discussion on a separate window, easy to reference when I need to know something.
    Again, don't know if you even wanted to know any of that, but thought I'd share!
    Cheers,
    GB
