ontouchstart and ontouchend in jquery?

Question

I am currently using the following for every element I want to change the class of on touch:

ontouchstart=\"$(this).addClass(\'select\');\" ontouchend=\"$(this).         


        

Answer 1

Without JQUERY :

element.addEventListener('touchstart',function(e) {
 e.currentTarget.className = "select";
});

With JQUERY

$('#nav ul li a').on('touchstart', function(){
    $(this).addClass('select');
});

Actually, on() get better performance than bind(), check documentation
