iphone

I want to detect an extended mousedown.

The following code works in Firefox and Safari...

var mousedownTimeout;

$('#testButton').mousedown(function(){
    mousedownTimeout = window.setTimeout(function(){
        alert("Hey, let go.");
    }, 2000);
});

$('#testButton').mouseup(function(){
    window.clearTimeout(mousedownTimeout);
});

... but not on the iPhone because (quoting quirksmore.org)...

The iPhone fires the mousedown, mouseup and click events in the correct order on a click (tap), but it either fires all three or none at all.

Is there a way around this?

Hi all! I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect. I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon: package sandbox { import flash.display… >>> More
