I am very new to Jquery, and I am using JQuery Mobile for an OS prototype that I am building.  With that said, I have a strip on the right side of the screen going from top to bottom and when a section of the screen is touched and swiped down, I want the strip to move down with the finger and once swiped down i want a transition to the "home screen" page to happen.  But if the strip is dragged up to one of the three icons at the top section of the screen I want a unique action to happen for each icon ....does this make sense at all? and is this possible?  I was thinking maybe use the Swipe event, but then there is no specific SwipeUp or SwipeDown event and I don't know how to integrate plugins yet.

Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Thanks so much!
