How to disable the default behavior of an Anchor in jQuery Mobile (iOS)

Question

I am building an app for iPhone and iPad using PhoneGap and jQM

Answer 1

Have a look at the events fired by JQM here http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0/docs/api/events.html. You want to handle the "taphold" event.

EDIT Soon after posting this I ended up seeing the same problem in my app! I found that adding this style, similar to what @chrisben suggested fixes it:

body {
    -webkit-touch-callout: none !important;
}

I don't have any form elements on my app so I don't know about those but links and buttons all work perfectly fine with this style added.
