jQuery Forum

It's actually recommended to use a vclick. So if you have a button of class mybtn... you would do this:

Thanks for that, I just tested with vclick and it seems at least as responsive as tap in the simulator.

However, that still leaves me with removing the default way that <a> tags are supposed to work in jqm and writing my own event for each one.  This could get a bit more complicated if I still want attributes like data-transition to work.  My goal is to simply change the event that all of these <a> tag buttons respond to in jqm, from click to something like vclick.

Maybe I just need to dig through the source code to figure out how to override it...

I confirmed that jQuery Mobile is binding the "click" event for this type of button routing.  See line 3619 in version 1.1.1 development:

1. // click routing - direct to HTTP or Ajax, accordingly
2. $( document ).bind( "click", function( event ) {
3.       ...
   
4. });
