i can get this script to work in isolation but as soon as i apply it to my page it fails to make anything mobile.
there are no other scripts on the page.
my design is laid out using css thus

div.lcol { width:130px; margin:0px; border:1px solid gray; position:absolute; top: 10px; left: 10px; }
div.mcol { width:700px; margin:0px; border:1px solid gray; position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 150px; }
div.rcol { width:130px; margin:0px; border:1px solid gray;position: absolute;top: 10px;left: 860px; }

so as you can see has three panels left middle and right
is it likely that as the layout is css using <div class="xxx" and not tables or frames that this would obscure or otherwise make the images i place unmovable ?
i have tried placing inside and outside the boundaries of the <div> but with no success
