None of the examples run on my desktop Safari

None of the examples run on my desktop machine (OSX 10.9.3, Safari or Chrome), just the first page shows up, but then buttons, lists, etc... are clickable but simply do nothing.

What's the deal with that? Shouldn't it work on desktop browsers as well?

It will work just fine if you enable touch events in developer mode.

I wonder if perhaps putting some JS in the examples to warn about this would be wise, e.g.:

if (touchSupportNotDetected) {
  alert("Ratchet is only meant for devices supporting touch, but your device doesn't seem to support touch! " +
    "Please enable touch emulation using your browser's developer tools, or use fingerblast.js")
}

@cvrebert: yeah, we need something like that. IMO we should only show this once though, unlike the BS IE emulation warning because it just gets annoying seeing an alert in every window load...

@XhmikosR In that particular case, the annoyance is a feature 😆
