jQuery mobile: Pinch/Zoom/Scale Gesture - console.log('something');

Question

I simply can't find anything in the docs or anywhere on how to detect a simple pinch-zoom Gesture on a touchdevice with jQuery Mobile? I would also considering using another library or anything. I just want to detect if the user is trying to scale the content on the website.

So I don't need to handle a pinch gesture on an element of the site but on the site itself. I just want to listen for a pinch gesture on my website.

Any idea how to do that?

thank you

The vendor support varies and iOS the only platform whereto use multi-touch Javascript events reliably.
