-jQuery - Tap and Hold
-=====================
-
- This jQuery plugin lets you detect a tap and hold event on touch interfaces.
-
-How to use it?
-
- 1) Add the jQuery Tap and Hold plugin into your HTML
-
-
-
- 2) Bind a tap and hold handler function to the tap and hold event of an element.
-
- $("#myDiv").bind("taphold", function(event){
- alert("This is a tap and hold!");
- });
-
-You can check a working example in examples/example1.html
