Detect whether its a touch or click even that should be fired. jQuery.

jquery-touch-or-click.js

// This checks document to see if touchstart exists
// if it does, then your event is 'touchstart'
// if it doesn't (most desktop browsers) then its 'click'.
var clickEventType = ((document.ontouchstart!==null)?'click':'touchstart');

// Old .bind don't use
$('.foo').bind(clickEventType, function(e){});

//Better yet, use .on() for binding:
$('body').on(clickEventType, '.foo', function(e){});

// You can then trigger using the same event type:

$('.foo').trigger(clickEventType);
