A custom 'tap' event JavaScript plugin for mobile and tablet web browsers, which eliminates the 300ms delay between a physical 'tap' and the firing of a 'click' event. Uses mouse events as a fallback for browsers that don't support touch.
First, include the main tap.js JavaScript file in your HTML document:
<script src="tap.js"></script>
Next create a new Tap instance, passing the element you want to use:
var el = document.getElementById('my-id'),
myTap = new Tap(el);
You can then start listening for 'tap' events using the regular JavaScript event listener syntax:
el.addEventListener('tap', onTap, false);
function onTap (e) {
//your code
}
You can stop listening for tap events like so:
el.removeEventListener('tap', onTap, false);
