jquery mobile tapping event?

Question

jQuery Mobile suggests to use tap events instead of click events, as click adds a delay.

So if I have:

   <a id="someID" href="#" onclick="someFunction(); return false">asd </a>

how do I change this to inline tapping event?

I could do this:

$('#someID').live('tap',function(event) { ... });

but don't want to have ID's in my scripts, so prefer to call a function inline

Answer 1

Would you like this solution?

HTML:

<div ontap="test()">TAP ME</div>

SCRIPT:

$('[ontap]').each(function(){
    $(this).on("tap", new Function($(this).attr("ontap")));
});

Answer 2

There is no "inline tapping event" like, ontap="someFunction()", as tap is a jQuery Mobile construct.

Excerpt from jQuery Mobile Source (notice the 'tap' event):

// add new event shortcuts
$.each(("touchstart touchmove touchend orientationchange throttledresize " +
        "tap taphold swipe swipeleft swiperight scrollstart scrollstop" )
        .split( " " ),
        function( i, name ) { ...
