mousedown JQuery doesn't work on Android touchpad

Question

I used mousedown event as hope that it will work when a user touches the element but it didn't seem to show the effect on andriod tablet. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You can try, onclick mouse handler. On a touch, Android first fires all touch events followed by mouse events to support more devices. Hence, if you want better performance, try "ontouchstart" and "ontouchend" as well.

Answer 2

that's because when you touch your screen you are not firing a onmousedown event. You should try onclick or ondrag or maybe even onmouseover.

Answer 3

I think using OnClick event your problem will get solve.

Answer 4

By using a different event. I'd guess something like focus might do for you, but it is hard to say without the goal mentioned.
