I am coding a webpage to be viewed on iPad. It uses Safaris/Webkits drag & drop. I have exactly copied Safari's example drag & drop code but it wont work.
My Problem: The ondrop event is never triggered when I run the webpage(HTML, CSS & Javascript) on Safari Desktop or on Safari on an iPad. On ipad I cannot even drag the elements(the microscope thingie appears & it wont drag when I hold & move my finger over the element). The drag does work on desktop though.
Whats going wrong?
The small code example can be found at the very bottom of this page: http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/appleapplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/DragAndDrop.html
Here is the JSFiddle (remember the drag & drop is Webkit so only for Safari-this webpage is for ipad only): http://jsfiddle.net/eyM3y/

Working alternative :
ReplyDeleteFirstly, use jquery UI http://jqueryui.com/demos/ for drag and drop functionality
and then add this script https://github.com/furf/jquery-ui-touch-punch for playing it in Ipad or Iphone.
Hope it helps.
Did you read the top of the page you linked to in Apple's documentation? It says:
ReplyDeleteNote: This technology is supported only on desktop versions of Safari. For iOS, use DOM Touch, described in Handling Events (part of Safari Web Content Guide) and Safari DOM Additions Reference.

I believe you may want to listen for the touchmove and touchend events instead of on drag and on drop. :)
