+                This example demonstrates the utility and relations between the
+                touches and targetTouches members defined in the <a>TouchEvent</a>
+                interface. The following code will generate different output based
+                on the number of touch points on the touchable element and the document:
+              </p>
+

+                  &lt;div id='touchable'&gt;
+                      This element is touchable.
+                  &lt;/div&gt;
+          
+                  document.getElementById('touchable').addEventListener('touchstart', function(ev) {
+
+                      if (ev.touches.item(0) == ev.targetTouches.item(0))

+                           * Since targetTouches is a subset of touches which covers the

+                           * is always true.

+
+                          document.write('Hello Touch Events!');

+
+                          document.write('All points are on target element')

+                This example demonstrates the utility of changedTouches and it's relation

+                The code is a example which triggers whenever a touch point is removed

+                       */
