jquery.ui.touch.punch.js script is preventing input functionality on touch devices

Question

It took me a little bit, but I figured out that I can\'t click on my inputs because of the touch.punch script I\'m using to enable jquery UI drag functionality on touch devices.

Answer 1

To anyone who might wind up here with a similar situation using the very handy touch.punch hack, simply forcing the focus through on a click event will work just fine!

$('.input').bind('click', function(){
    $(this).focus();
});
