jquery.event.move

Move events provide an easy way to set up press-move-release interactions on mouse and touch devices.

Demo and docs

stephband.info/jquery.event.move/

Move events

movestart
Fired following mousedown or touchstart, when the pointer crosses a threshold distance from the position of the mousedown or touchstart.
<dt>move</dt>
<dd>Fired on every animation frame where a mousemove or touchmove has changed the cursor position.</dd>

<dt>moveend</dt>
<dd>Fired following mouseup or touchend, after the last move event, and in the case of touch events when the finger that started the move has been lifted.</dd>

Move event objects are augmented with the properties:

e.pageX
e.pageY
Current page coordinates of pointer.
e.startX
e.startY
Page coordinates the pointer had at movestart.
e.deltaX
e.deltaY
Distance the pointer has moved since movestart.
e.velocityX
e.velocityY
Velocity in pixels/ms, averaged over the last few events.

Use them in the same way as you normally bind to events in jQuery:


jQuery('.mydiv')
.bind('movestart', function(e) {
	// move starts.

})
.bind('move', function(e) {
	// move .mydiv horizontally
	jQuery(this).css({ left: e.startX + e.deltaX });

}).bind('moveend', function() {
	// move is complete!

});
