Question

I am working a mobile website, using jQuery Mobile. Safari browser (5.1) not recognzing jQuery click event - like ("#button1").click (function (){ ...... });

Any idea?

Code Snippets:

$("#submit").click(function () {
    alert("hello");
});

<form id="loginForm" class="validate" action=""  method="get">
<input type="button" id="submit" name="submit" value="LOGIN" /> </form>

Answer 1

The JavaScript click event is not always fired in some mobile browsers, so you may also have to bind to the tap event, like this:

$("#submit").bind("click tap", function () {
      alert("hello");
});

Answer 2

$("#submit").on("click", function () {
      alert("hello");
});
