drag & drop with Safari

I've seen it suggested to try two fingers in the box. I've not encountered any site that requires that, but it might work on the site you're using.

Can you post the URL to that web site? Perhaps if others try it with their iPads, they might figure out a workaround. Though some sites just aren't touch-screen compatible.

One good example would be the Flickr.com website. Try login in and go the Organize and Create section. There is no way to drag the images.

Hi, any news on this? have the same problem, would be nice if there is a "how to"

Yeah, I really want to know this as well. I noticed that on google calendar will let you drag events between dates by holding a finger on the event for a second and then tapping on the new date, but its tricky and other websites don't seem to respond the same. I heard that it may be available only on websites written in html 5? Not sure if this is true or not.

Click & Drag / Drag & Drop
is definitely needed in the iOS
Apple, please fix this.

Drag and drop is already implemented in iOS. It doesn't need fixing.

The website itself is what needs fixing. The web developer needs to program the website to support touchscreen devices, rather than mouse input.

First, you aren't speaking to Apple here. This is strictly a user-user forum set up to provide technical support. If you want to make the request to Apple then do it via the iPad Feedback Form — http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

First, though, you may stop and wonder about how Drag & Drop is already working in iOS in any number of apps, which, by the way, does include Safari. It may not work on some particular site that you're interested in, but certainly does in others.

I know this therad is being bumped up but i had to respond to your comment, So... It's not Apple's fault, it's everyone else's for not bending over backwards to support the particular quirks of the iPad? Apple could fix this with a simple adjustment to safari.

As the saying goes: When you can't bring the donkey to the well, you have to bring the well to the donkey...

Exactly how would they "fix Safari" so it would work?

Drag and drop is a JavaScript function. The JavaScript needs to be rewritten and the browser needs to the support it. Apple can't do a simple adjustment to make this work.
