does mousedown /mouseup in jquery work for the ipad?

ipad, jquery, onmousedown

Solution

I found out how to do this for the ipad for those who are interested:

Instead of the code I used in my question, you would use:

$('body').bind( "touchstart", function(e){
        $('div#extras').fadeTo('fast', 1);
});

&

$('body').bind( "touchend", function(e){
        $('div#extras').delay(2000).fadeTo(1500, 0);
});

Problem

I am using the current code: ``` $('body').mousedown(function() { $('div#extras').fadeTo('fast', 1); }); $('body').mouseup(function() { $('div#extras').delay(2000).fadeTo(1500, 0); }); ``` This works great in safari but when I upload it and check it out on the ipad it doesnt work?
