  • 0

I am using jquery mobile and I have an annoying issue… When an element has a link, for example a button, I am catching events like touchEnd event to fire then javascript calls or prevent link. However, when a long press button (1 or 2 seconds), ALWAYS executes the link! Tested on iOS5 and Android and tried several possibilities but problem remains! For example, following code should prevent link and it does if you click “fast” at button. However, if you press button and hold it (touchend is not fired), link is also executed! Also if you do not handle any event. Thank you 

$(document).ready(function() 
 {
  $("a").bind('touchend', function(event)
  {      
          event.stopImmediatePropagation();
          event.preventDefault();
  }

EDIT: problem comes from tabhold event that always fire link although this event is used or not! Definetely seems a bug and possible solution could be set its time to infinite. How?

    Please report a bug on the jquery-mobile site https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues

    Ideally make an example app that shows the bug from this template: http://jsbin.com/otepum/edit#html

    I recently reported a similar bug, which is that cmd+click on a link doesn’t open in new window (obviously not a problem on actual touch screens)

    Thanks!
