What is the difference between the click and tap events?

Question

I am developing an app that runs on Android/iOS and desktop computers.

Should I use the click or the tap event?

What are the differ

Answer 1

Sorry for bringing up old post, but for anyone who's working on jQuery with Phonegap:

"click" event will not be triggered if assigned on "div", "p" etc. elements that were not suppose to be clicked, when "tap" makes it working perfectly on any element! That took me ages to notice.

Conclusion, if you do develop something with jQuery mobile, I would suggest using "tap" instead of "click", as it might cause some issues
