Hoping someone can help me find a good mobile web solution for handling the UI for something along the lines of picking horses in a race to "win", "place" or "show".
I'd like users to be presented with a relatively short list of, say, horse names w/small picture and then be able to drag them into one of 3 drop zones (each of which accepts one and only one name). Server should then be told the ID of the horse in each drop zone. Ideally names would animate into drop zone if dropped near it, but snapping ok too.
Rails back-end but that shouldn't really matter.
Needs to work with mobile screens (touch drag & drop)...and ideally standard browsers as well,. JQuery UI and JQuery Mobile get close with their "sortable" demos. But that appears to be directed for re-organizing a list. I need help creating "drop zones" and submitting contents of each back to server.
Ideas? Perhaps someone has seen some sample code along these lines?
