Question

I have a page on iPad and am facing some issues implementing an equivalent of mouseout behavior.

So I have:

1. On my page, there is a checkbox on click (or rather touch), I want to show an errorMsg
2. On click/touch on anything other than the errorMsg, I want to hide the errorMsg

Below is the code I have written;

$(document).bind("touchstart",function(e){
         if(e.target.id != "checkbox_err")
        $("span#checkbox_err").fadeOut("slow");
     });
}


$("input:checkbox").bind("touchstart",function(){
$("span#checkbox_err").fadeIn("fast");

});

Now the issue is when I click/touch on the checkbox, the errorMsg shows for a while and then it also hides it immediately (since target is not the errorMsg)

How do I fix this issue?

As I know there is no need to implement touch events to achieve what you want. You can use common click event. It will be emulated by the browser of the device.
