this code make make my slider respond ontouch event but in Inspect console i am getting error

Error::

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'addEventListener'

because of this error some of functionality is not working ??

Answer 1

use .on()

$(this).on('touchstart', touchStart);

you are getting that error because .addEventListener is not a jquery method
