drag and drop not working on iPAD

Question

I would like to use sortable HTML tables driven by a Javascript API (e.g., BBC Glow) with the iPAD - however, I cannot drag an otherwise draggable item using the iPAD as the entire page scrolls instead of the element I would like to drag.

Is there a way around this?

Answer 1

was just about to ask this same question... but in a different way. no, iPad does not support the idea of "double clicking" or "drag/drop"... so my question was going to be "what are best-practices for modifying an existing UI so that it works for iPad/iPhone?"

ran across this project while researching: http://www.gotproject.com/blog/post2.html

I would start by looking over how this guy's code works, and try something like that...
