Windows 8.1: Fixed touch scrolling and the js errors

[dkarzon]

Working with ionic on Windows 8.1 most of it is working great.

The main problem I had was the touch scrolling didn't work. This fix for this is to add the -ms-content-zooming: none; to the body tag. This tag disables user zooming which seems to cause the mspointer events to be incorrectly fired resulting in touch scrolling not working.

The others were javascript errors I'd come across, mainly related to methods that don't exist or are unsupported. Windows Store javascript apps fail certification if there are any js errors during the certification process.

Awesome work thanks, we'll have @perrygovier take a look at this as he's making some scrolling improvements right now. Thanks!

Thanks for this @dkarzon, I took a look at our 8.0 Lumia, and I'm not noticing a difference. Can you provide an example of what this fixes, or is it something specific to 8.1? The Lumia 820 we have isn't eligible for an update yet.

Actually this fix I more for Windows 8.1 (Windows Store apps) but also affects the native JavaScript projects on Windows 8.1

So more for devices like the Microsoft Surface.

Just some further info, the Cordova solution for WP8 is a Silverlight app with a webview embedded but on Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 javascript apps are natively supported using an IE11 AppHost. The Silverlight solution works fine its just the native javascript apps that do not because they implement the touch event differently.
