jquery.ui.touch.punch.js script is preventing input functionality on touch devices

Question

It took me a little bit, but I figured out that I can\'t click on my inputs because of the touch.punch script I\'m using to enable jquery UI drag functionality on touch devices.

Answer 1

I actually tried adding the lines which Danwilliger mentioned, it did not do the trick for me.

What worked for me was

//Check if element is an input or a textarea
if ($(touch.target).is("input") || $(touch.target).is("textarea")) {
  event.stopPropagation();
  $(touch.target).focus();
} else {
  event.preventDefault();
}

I am not really sure why the other answers posted did not work, but for anyone else out there if they have the same issue try my solution out :).
