Re: Why doesn't this slider code work with Kindle Fire or Android?

I must have visited hundreds of pages trying to solve this problem but at last I stumbled on the solution.

In fact it was something quite simple. The action code is a conditional after testing for the device used: in the line:

if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {

It struck me that it may be better to test if it supported touch, so I added these lines before the conditional:

var isTouchSupported = 'ontouchstart' in window;

var startEvent = isTouchSupported ? 'touchstart' : 'mousedown';

var moveEvent = isTouchSupported ? 'touchmove' : 'mousemove';

var endEvent = isTouchSupported ? 'touchend' : 'mouseup';

and then replaced the conditional line with:

if (isTouchSupported) {

It worked like a charm - on my IMac, IPad, Iphone, Xperia Z1 (android) and Kindle Fire.
