swipe from one page to another

[v191]

I understand that dreamweaver doesn't help with the code enabling one to swipe from one page to another

when trying to build a mobile web site?   I wonder why this is?

Because like all web development programs, that are not drag and drop, Dw expects the user to at least be willing to learn html, css and an understanding of javascript.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but if you do learn how to code, you will find that any type of layout is possible.

Mobile web site developers typically create responsive page layouts where users tap or click a navigation link that takes them to a new page.   Swipe gestures are more often used in slideshows or photo galleries for which there are many jQuery and/or JavaScript plugins available.

A few examples can be found below.  A Google search will reveal more.

Vincent,

More than likely what you are seeing when you swipe to move pages are a series of divs that are being moved across a static page via a jQuery. So from the user end it seems like different pages, but really it is just one page with sideways moving content.

The link below should sheds some light on what the process is.

You can read more about the process here: https://html-online.com/articles/jquery-swipe-detection/

Hope that helps point you in the right direction.
