How do I get the jQuery-UI sortable feature working on iPad and other touch devices?
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/
I tried to using event.preventDefault();
, event.cancelBubble=true;
, and event.stopPropagation();
with the touchmove
and the scroll
events, but the result was that the page does not scroll any longer.
Any ideas?
Found a solution (only tested with iPad until now!)!

Tom,
I have added following code to mouseProto._touchStart event:
var time1Sec;
var ifProceed = false, timerStart = false;
mouseProto._touchStart = function (event) {
var self = this;
// Ignore the event if another widget is already being handled
if (touchHandled || !self._mouseCapture(event.originalEvent.changedTouches[0])) {
return;
}
if (!timerStart) {
time1Sec = setTimeout(function () {
ifProceed = true;
}, 1000);
timerStart=true;
}
if (ifProceed) {
// Set the flag to prevent other widgets from inheriting the touch event
touchHandled = true;
// Track movement to determine if interaction was a click
self._touchMoved = false;
// Simulate the mouseover event
simulateMouseEvent(event, 'mouseover');
// Simulate the mousemove event
simulateMouseEvent(event, 'mousemove');
// Simulate the mousedown event
simulateMouseEvent(event, 'mousedown');
ifProceed = false;
timerStart=false;
clearTimeout(time1Sec);
}
};
To make sortable
work on mobile.
Im using touch-punch like this:
$("#target").sortable({
// option: 'value1',
// otherOption: 'value2',
});
$("#target").disableSelection();
Take note of adding disableSelection();
after creating the sortable instance.
