- Description
- This is a lovely bit of hackery (a self-described "duck punch") for a huge weakness in jQuery UI, which is that it doesn't handle touchscreen events. TouchPunch translates touch events into pseudo mouse events, with the result that they Just Work.
We use it specifically for Lists: these need drag and drop to manage their order, so they didn't work on tablets naturally. But TouchPunch fixes that right up: it's a tad slow, but you can drag-and-drop to rearrange Lists as you expect.
