Drag and drop is a gateway drug with DragDealer
<p>DragDealer is a fine new JavaScript component that abstracts both touch and point interfaces.It makes life easy to do sliders and the like:
But, it can do so much more. Most of the power comes from tying functions into the drag movements. A good example here is the font size widget that they show:
-
-
new Dragdealer('magnifier', {
-
steps: 6,
-
snap: true,
-
animationCallback: function(x, y) {
-
text.style.fontSize = String(12 + x * 24) + 'px';
-
}
-
});
-
Continuing on from here, you can see rich examples such as this component that looks like a rich carousel-esque widget from the front of a news paper:








Very cool!
I like the canvas mask option, awesome.

Are those things with screws meant to be aliens from Star Wars?
This is an example of a cool trick that will, as a result of both the library and its implementation, exclude disabled users.
* All elements should have a visible keyboard focus: This is easy, since it just means adding equivalent pseudoclasses or javascript events
* All elements should be equally usable, or all content equally available, without a mouse
* It’s much harder to test, but all content should be equally available without a monitor. For example, if it really were scrolling a box with hidden overflow, that content is still available to a screen reader. But if it were dynamically loading text, there would need to be an easily understandable way to return focus to the updated content.
I think its a crimping tool for RJ45 and RJ11 plugs ( network / telephone ) such as this one http://www.intertexelectronics.com/images/300-088.jpg
Hi there!!!
I am using this amazing dragdealer code for a website.
Great code! I I was delighted when i found your plugin. My annoying boss wanted that ipad scroll so bad.
It would be perfection if i could get it to work on ie8.
I have reached out to the developer to see if he can help.
Here is the link: http://www.davidhowell.net/dev/
On IE8 it is catching a error in the dragdealer script, it stops any javascript to run. Then it shows a black screen.
Am really sad and will have to remove it as client is freaking out. i asked…Who is the hell used IE8??????? Crazy people!
I hate hate hate have have Explorers of all kinds and shapes. phewwwww
Can anyone else test it for me on IE8? Maybe you have an idea on what’s happening?
IIt’s a wordpress site by the way.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for any help :-)
cheers
