does mousedown /mouseup in jquery work for the ipad?

Question

I am using the current code:

$(\'body\').mousedown(function() {
        $(\'div#extras\').fadeTo(\'fast\', 1);
});

$(\'body\').mouseup(function() {

Old post but there is universal solution:

$('body').on('mousedown touchstart',function(e){
    $('div#extras').fadeTo('fast', 1);
});
$('body').on('mouseup touchend',function(e){
    $('div#extras').delay(2000).fadeTo(1500, 0);
});

You will notice that I use mousedown with touchstart and mouseup with touchend. This cover mobile and desktop use.
