Element: gesturestart event
Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.
The gesturestart event is fired when multiple fingers contact the touch surface, thus starting a new gesture. During the gesture, gesturechange events will be fired. When the gesture has ended, a gestureend event will be fired.
It is a proprietary event specific to WebKit.
