Horizontal swipe slider with jQuery and touch devices support?

I need to make a product slider like this ( see red area ) swipe slider with momentum.

It should work on Desktop, iPad and Mobile browser. Do you know any jquery/jquery mobile plugin to achieve this.

The effect I want is almost similar to this http://manos.malihu.gr/tuts/jquery_thumbnail_scroller.html (but it's not touch compatible)

and exactly like "Top 25" section in Apple's iPad app named "Trailers"

In my opinion iosSlider is amazing. It works in almost any device and it is well documented. It's free for personal usage, but for commercial sites license costs $20.

Also a great option is touchCarousel or RoyalSlider from same author. These two have everything you'll need, but also not free and have a price of $10-12

I would also recommend http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4

BUT if you're not digging on that try this plugin

http://www.zackgrossbart.com/hackito/touchslider/

it works very well and defaults to a horizontal slide bar on desktop -- it's not as elegant on desktop as iscroll-4 is, but it works very well on touch devices

GOOD LUCK!

If I was you, I would implement my own solution based on the event specs. Basically, what swipe is - it's handling of touch down, touch move, touch up events. here is excerpt of my own lib for handling iPhone touch events:

touch_object.prototype.handle_touchstart = function(e){
    if (e.targetTouches.length != 1){
        return false;
    }
    this.obj.style.zIndex = 100;
    e.preventDefault();
    this.startX = e.targetTouches[0].pageX - this.geometry.x;
    this.startY = e.targetTouches[0].pageY - this.geometry.y;
    /* adjust for left /top */
    this.bind_handler('touchmove');
    this.bind_handler('touchend');
}
touch_object.prototype.handle_touchmove = function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    if (e.targetTouches.length != 1){
        return false;
    }
    var x=e.targetTouches[0].pageX - this.startX;
    var y=e.targetTouches[0].pageY - this.startY;
    this.move(x,y);

}
touch_object.prototype.handle_touchend = function(e){
    this.obj.style.zIndex = 10;
    this.unbind_handler('touchmove');
    this.unbind_handler('touchend');
}

I used that code to "move things around". But, instead of moving, you can create your own algorithm for e.g. triggering redirect to some other location, or you can use that move to "move/swipe" the element, on which the swipe is on to other location.

so, it really helps to understand basics of how things work and then create more complicated solutions. this might help as well.

I used this, to create my solution:

Have you tried iosSlider? It can do exactly what you need.

Take a look at iScroll v4 here: http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4

It may not be jQuery, but it works on Desktop Mobile, and iPad quite well; I've used it on many projects and combined it with jQuery.

Good Luck!
