Is there an equivalent to e.PageX position for ‘touchstart’ event as there is for click event?

by

Kinda late, but you need to access the original event, not the jQuery massaged one. Also, since these are multi-touch events, other changes need to be made:

$('#box').live('touchstart', function(e) {
  var xPos = e.originalEvent.touches[0].pageX;
});

If you want other fingers, you can find them in other indices of the touches list.

UPDATE FOR NEWER JQUERY:

$(document).on('touchstart', '#box', function(e) {
  var xPos = e.originalEvent.touches[0].pageX;
});
