Question

The Situation:

I have a mobile, HTML5 application. The application works great in any browser that isn’t mobile. The game is fairly ‘boggle-like’, with you clicking a tile, and dragging the mouse across other tiles to make a string of tiles. This involves capturing a mousedown event, then recording and changing all the tiles you drag over, and stopping on a mouseup event.

The Problem
In it’s native form, it doesn’t work on iOS devices or the Blackberry Playbook. I have the ability, within the iOS arena, to disable screen movement, but I have yet to figure out how I can record L-shaped touches and ‘tag’ every tile that is touched in a single motion.

Is there a framework, jQuery plugin or something along those lines that would work?
Ideally, it would work on both iOS, Playbook and Android browsers as a ‘finished product’.

Thanks in advance!
