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

Answer 1

You could time it.

function onImageMouseDown(e){
    var d = new Date();
    md_time = d.getTime(); // Milliseconds since 1 Apr 1970
}

function onImageMouseUp(e){
    var d = new Date();
    var long_click = (d.getTime()-md_time)>1000;
    if (long_click){
        // Click lasted longer than 1s (1000ms)
    }else{
        // Click lasted less than 1s
    }
    md_time = 0;
}
