Felipe Gomes, a summer intern at Mozilla, has been on working multi-touch support in the Firfox browser in anticipation, I suspect, of the Windows 7 release this fall.The video shows support for pinching and multiple fingers and looks pretty good. I wonder how Mozilla will handle support for multi-touch in JavaScript? Apple Safari, as reported in a past blog post, already has support for multi-touch with a JavaScript extension. In addition, Silverlight 3 supports multi-touch and I assume Adobe Flash will too (eventually).
It would be nice if all the browser vendors supported the same JavaScript constructs for multi-touch otherwise web developers will have to write different multi-touch Ajax applications for different browsers.
