Is it possible to recognize touch events on the iPad\'s Safari browser using jQuery?

I used mouseOver and mouseOut events in a web application. Are there any simila

Answer 1

You can use .on() to capture multiple events and then test for touch on the screen, e.g.:

$('#selector')
.on('touchstart mousedown', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  var touch = e.touches[0];
  if(touch){
    // Do some stuff
  }
  else {
    // Do some other stuff
  }
});
