title: Why does swipe left not work for Jquery mobile?
body: <p>I have the following code that tries to detect swipes left and right:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    $('#my_view').bind('pageinit', function() {
          $( '#my_view' ).on( "swipeleft swiperight", "#myItem", function( event ) {
              var listitem = $( this ),
              dir = event.type === "swipeleft" ? "left" : "right";
              console.log("Detected swipe!!!! " + dir);
          }); 
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However this only detects the right swipe and never detects a left swipe, can anyone explain why?</p>
