Question

I have this button which is not working correctly for hold button for a period (but it works like click only).

Where i was trying to do if the button is hold for greater/equal then 2 seconds then callfunction1, if the button was pressed less then 2 seconds then callfuntion2.

var clickDisabled = false;

function clickLocker() {      
  /* @Button: 2 seconds */
  clickDisabled = true;
  setTimeout(function(){clickDisabled = false;}, 2000);      
}

function callfunction1() { // you have hold he button for greater then or equal 2 second } 
function callfunction2() { // you have hold the button less then 2 second } 

$('.button').live("click",function()
{ 
  if (clickDisabled) {
    alert("locked for 2 second");
    return;
  }
  clickLocker();
});

Answer 1

That was a great suggestion from slash. This is how you can do this

var clickstart;
var clickstop;
$("a").on('mousedown', function(e) {    
    clickstart = e.timeStamp;
}).on('mouseup', function(e) {
    clickstop = e.timeStamp- clickstart
    if(clickstop >= 2000) two()
    else one();
});

It might be necessary to track the mouse movement like @MarkRhodes wrote in his comments. So for that, check this update
