I\'m using jQuery to detect a click on the DOM - or let\'s every click.
$(document).click(function(){
alert(\"Click :-)\");
});
This works p
As I found on http://www.danwellman.co.uk/fixing-jquery-click-events-for-the-ipad/ you may test the user agent and use touchstart or click depending on the platform
var ua = navigator.userAgent,
event = (ua.match(/iPad/i)) ? "touchstart" : "click";
$(document).on(event, function (ev) {
...
});
