tap eventversion added: 1.0
Description: Triggered after a quick, complete touch event.
jQuery( ".selector" ).on( "tap", function( event ) { ... } )
The jQuery Mobile tap event triggers after a quick, complete touch event that occurs on a single target object. It is the gesture equivalent of a standard click event that is triggered on the release state of the touch gesture.
This plugin extends jQuery's built-in method. If jQuery Mobile is not loaded, calling the .tap() method may not fail directly, as the method still exists. However, the expected behavior will not occur.
Warning: Use tap with caution
Tap makes use of vclick and therefore should be used with caution on touch devices. See the vclick API documentation for more details.
