pageTurningUtils should allow for switching pages by dragging the dog-ear

[Paul Christopher]

Description

The pageTurningUtils is a wonderful new feature and I really love it! Thanks for adding this! IMO the widget would be even more powerful, if the user would be able to switch pages by simply dragging the dog-ear, as it can be already done with ​http://www.turnjs.com/?

I have tried to implement a first very simple version, see attached test case. It's still buggy (e.g. the page flip animation) and it does work only for the given test case (so it is not a general approach and you can only flip forwards at the moment). It took me quite some time to figure it out. Maybe it could serve as a starting point for someone how is more familiar with the pageTurningUtils' code.

Discussion

If think the CSS3 based approach is better than the canvas based approach of ​http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/casestudies/20things_pageflip/ especially if you use other dojox mobile widgets as childs.

Maybe support for compat mode / other CSS3 browsers could be added? It's just a prefix that needs to be changed and which needs be hold in a variable, so that "webkit-transform" is changed to "moz-transform" or "ms-transform" when setting the dom style?

Misc

Test case tested with Safari 5.1.7 on Win7 only.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 2+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
