To scroll content inside a fixed width-height element (e.g. div) on an iPhone or iPad, the user must use two fingers to scroll any area on a page that is not the entire page. One way to work around this ‘feature’ is to implement a touch event handler that moves the div up when the user touches it.

A better way to add one finger scrolling to divs on iPhone’s and iPad’s is the iScroll4 script developed by Matteo Spinelli. This script provides the following features :

• Pinch / Zoom
• Pull up/down to refresh
• Improved speed and momentum
• Snap to element
• Customizable scrollbars
