Answer 1

I had the same problem but not on a touch device. The event triggers every time you click. There is something about event queuing or so.

However, my solution was like this: On click event (or touch?) you set a timer. If the link is clicked again within X ms, you just return false.

To set per element timer, you can use $.data().

This also may fix the @Ferdy problem described above.
