Longpress / longclick event support / plugin in jQuery

Question

I\'m working on a website which requires mouseover menu\'s. I would not recommend mouseover menu\'s from an accessibility point of view, but it\'s pretty easy to implement using

It turns out that you can just use the existing longclick plugin for jQuery 1.4 with jQuery 1.8.

$("#area").mousedown(function(){
    $("#result").html("Waiting for it...");
});
$("#area").longclick(500, function(){
    $("#result").html("You longclicked. Nice!");
});
$("#area").click(function(){
    $("#result").html("You clicked. Bummer.");
});

    
Click me!
You didn't click yet.
