have not been able to get this property show up in the DOM via jquery or native javascript. jquery doesn\'t seem to support it and I can\'t find a native name/syntax that wo
When using the style property within JavaScript, capitalize letters following dash, so -webkit-overflow-scrolling becomes WebkitOverflowScrolling and make sure to also set overflow to scroll.
Try it here: http://jsbin.com/civaha
You can tell it is touch scrolling because of the bounce.

The correct syntax is
el.style.WebkitOverflowScrolling = 'touch'; // capital W
This is going (nearly) like the usual naming convention from css to JS like border-top is becoming borderTop, ... just that the webkit stuff gets a capical first letter.
With JavaScript, you need to replace dash -
with following capital letter, example:
var el = document.getElementById('element id');
el.style.webkitOverflowScrolling = 'touch';
