jQuery Forum

I am completely new to jQuery so please bare with me.  I am testing out the slider widget on the following page:

 

 

If I view this page on my smart phone (IPhone 4) I try to drag the slider but it treats it as an image and doesn't slide.  Is this the intention?  I thought the mobile library should make these controls behave exactly as they do with a mouse on a desktop?

 

Can someone please provide some additional information is my misunderstanding is wrong.

 

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I am investigating different technologies so I am completely new to JQuery Mobile.  My understanding is that this API should allow a web page to behave exactly the same on a tablet as it does on a desktop.  I see on the main page of jquerymobile.com there is an example from Codiqa that allows a user to drag elements onto the "tablet" canvas.

 

This works great on a desktop, but when I try dragging the elements on a tablet, it doesn't drag them it just moves the page up and down.  Am I misunderstanding what JQuery Mobile actually does or should I be able to drag these items with my finger on a tablet as if i was using a mouse on a desktop?

 

Thank you to anyone who can clear up my understanding about this technology.
