title: Detect touch on a video element on iphone
body: <p>I currently have a video using the html5 video tag on a webpage. I need to detect the user touching anywhere on the video tag. I'm using the jquery library but it seems any touch detection even if I do it on the whole body tag, it will not register having been touched. I have used the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () {
              $('video').bind( "touchstart", function(e){alert('Video Clicked!')} );
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to make the video respond to a touch on iphone?</p>
