Click event vs tap event

[anelezeravla]

Hello,
We would like to know better the differences between tap and click events. We have checked the jquery docs, but still wanted to know:

1. Generally speaking, is tap faster than click? (as this posts says: https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...)

2. Can we use tap event carelessly instead of every click event that we have? (our mobile app has several clicks, but all of them involve touching the screen)

3. If 1 and 2 are both 'yes', is there any reason why Appery tutorials always use click instead of tap?

   All help and experience is welcome. Thanks a lot!

Hello!
1) Yes, tap event is faster than click on 0,3 seconds
2) Yes, you can
3) I think it's connected with the fact that Click event is supported by all browser and devices (event old one)

Hi Adith,

Could you please show us how you have implement this functionality?

[adith visnu]

this is code if button clicked

var kondisi = Appery('track').text();
//alert(kondisi);

if (kondisi==="TRACK"){
Appery('track').text('STOP');
}else{
Appery('track').text('TRACK');
}

Hello,

In the text of the button there are invisible characters (spaces, line breaks), which do not allow condition to work for the first time. You should try this way:

prevar kondisi = Appery('track').text();
kondisi = kondisi.trim();
if (kondisi==="TRACK") {
Appery('track').text('STOP');
} else {
Appery('track').text('TRACK');
}/pre

Thank you evgene.
Thank you Appery.
