jQuery.event.move : Drag event plugin

Custom events ‘movestart’, ‘move’ and ‘moveend’ for jQuery.Move events provide an easy way to set up press-move-release interactions on mouse and touch devices.

Move events are designed to compliment


drag events


, where the two have different meanings: drag events are for transferring data while move events are for making responsive interfaces. That said,

movestart

,

move

and

moveend

events deliberately echo

dragstart

,

drag

and

dragend

events, with one significant difference: where the

drag

event fires continuously whether you have moved the pointer or not, the

move

event fires only after the pointer has been moved.
