It seems to me both issues, the right side of the panel not being accessible 
and the sliders being largely unusable in their current form in touch 
environments, are of equal importance. Interesting.

I asked Michelle yesterday about me messing with the demo, in hopes I could get 
it working/ displaying a bit less rigidly (or more fluidly, if you like), in 
terms of it's adaptability/ responsiveness. But thinking that further along, 
after reading what you said below, I'm never going too get it 100% adaptive/ 
responsive so it remains usable the smaller a users screen gets. Now my 
thinking is those next a previous scroll buttons might be just the thing to get 
you were you need to be. It seems workable. 

Whether it the best solution, I'm not sure. The most natural instinct I have is 
to swipe to the left to see the right side of the panel on the iPad. This 
behaviour works on my laptop via my trackpad and even on my mouse, by swiping 
to the left (I have to use two fingers on my trackpad), but something seems to 
be preventing it on the iPad. Like I said, it starts to move but it stops 
immediately after. Could it be possible something is preventing it it? Seems to 
me it should be a natural horizontal scroll action for the iPad, no?

Just my thoughts.

And that Touch Punch solution looks perfect!

Hey Johnny,

You're right, our current scrolling in the new UIO panel is a hack. If you look 
at the wireframes, we actually have next and previous buttons to scroll through 
a row full of options at a time. Before this demo gets into master, we're going 
to implement this style of interaction. 

Does it seem like it is a workable solution on the iPad, too? And a good one?

Now we've just got to get those jQuery UI sliders to work on touch screens too. 
Justin mentioned something about the jQuery UI team eventually adding built-in 
mobile support, but in the meantime we may need to look at something likeTouch 
Punch:

What do you think?
