How to prevent app running in phone-gap from scrolling vertically?

Question

I\'m trying out phone gap and I want my application to not scroll up and down when the user drags their finger across the screen. This is my code. Can anyone tell me why it\

You didn't say if this is a native app or a web app.

If this is a native app you can turn off scrolling on the webview

UIScrollView* scroll;  //
for(UIView* theWebSubView in self.webView.subviews){  // where self.webView is the webview you want to stop scrolling.
    if([theWebSubView isKindOfClass:[UIScrollView class] ]){
        scroll = (UIScrollView*) theWebSubView;
        scroll.scrollEnabled = false;
        scroll.bounces = false;
    }
}

otherwise here is a link on the phonegap wiki for preventing scrolling. http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/16494815/Preventing-Scrolling-on-iPhone-Phonegap-Applications
