title: Prevent click event after handling jQuery Mobile tap event on iOS
body: <p>To improve responsiveness in our web app on iPad, I switched from responding to the click event to responding to the jQuery Mobile "tap" event. It works great and is much more responsive, but it introduced a new error.</p>
  
  <p>When users tap the screen on an iPad, iOS sends the TOUCHSTART and TOUCHEND events which jQuery Mobile treats as a "tap". But then 300ms later, iOS sends a "click" event. If I respond to the "tap" by advancing to the next page before the "click" occurs then the next page receives the "click" and if a button on the new page happens to appear in the location of the tap then it gets clicked.</p>
  
  <p>My workaround for now is to give the user visual feedback in response to the "tap" but wait for the "click" before proceeding to the next page.</p>
  
  <p>My question is whether it's possible to handle the "tap" and somehow tell Safari or iOS not to send the "click" at all.</p>
