When we create stuff for the web now it’s important we remember that the web has spread from the trackpad and mouse to the touch screen. Sometimes this is hard to accomodate for, but it’s not that hard to create some awesome cross device friendly touch and drag events with HTML5 and some smart styling!
I’ve made a little plugin that lets you grab and drag your way through a bunch of pictures of album artwork, similar to you drag through objects on an iphone at the start screen. Check out the demo to get a feel for what we’re going to be creating. The plugin isn’t too difficult to understand and you can download the finished version above, but when I first designed it, it only worked with mouse drags.
