Mobile Browser not recognizing click event

I'm trying to log an event object each time an element is clicked (doing this for debugging).

I am using this function:

$(window).on('click', function(e) {
    console.log(e);
});

This logs the click event on my desktop bowser; however, this doesn't log anything in the mobile consoles. Do mobile browsers not interpret click events as touch events?

That's because mobile browsers have "touch" events.

You can capture both clicks and touches using:

$(window).on('click touchstart', function(e) {
    console.log(e);
});
