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

When you do $('a').click( .. ) you're only processing the 'click' event. Here it's a different event and actually a system event for iOS that you cannot handle in javascript.

So you'll have to disable this feature completely from your webapp if you don't want it.

Try the following:

Or in your CSS:

a[data-role=button] {
    -webkit-user-select: none!important;
}
