jQuery .on() and .delegate() doesn't work on iPad

Question

If you try this snippet on desktop, everything works.
Whenever you try it on iPad, it won\'t do anything.

Answer 1

It's a Safari mobile bug/feature : click events won't bubble all the way up to body.

Adding onclick="" is a known workaround, but IMHO it's easier to attach your listener on a first child of .
