Tapping on in Mobile Safari

Question

Tapping on does not auto-focus linked in Mobile Safari but If an empty function as clickhandler is defined like this

document.getElem         


        

Answer 1

We were able to work around this issue at Etsy by simply adding this single line of code to our global javascript file.

$('label').click(function() {});

We are using the xui micro js library and that line simply attaches an empty click handler to all label elements. For some reason, this magically fixes the issue on mobile safari.
