Javascript Scrollbar on Mobile Devices Workaround?

I'm building a draggable timeline of sorts for a new project 开发者_如何转开发using some simple jquery ui features and have run into a problem regarding mobile devices.

Namely, drag and drop just doesn't work on touch screen devices like that. I've noticed any video players you pull up run proprietary plugins on your phone so moving the timeline around is not an issue. But, seeing as I'm not really doing video, I was hoping for some sort of work around.

Thoughts?

You could try to use JQuery Mobile Drag and Drop

See here for some documentation.

NOTE Using JQuery mobile will work on some phones, but not all phones. Older Blackberries, HTC Phones, and many other ones cannot handle many JQuery Mobile calls. Look at this page for more information on compatability
