The .prop() method will return something like the following in your example:

function onclick(event) {
  fetchContent();
}

(an actual function) whereas using .attr() returns a string: “fetchContent();”

.prop() is jQuery 1.6+.

Thanks for the snippet!

Actually ‘tap’ is not working on my android 2.1 phone, so I am looking for another way to make it, soon I got one solution on http://backtothecode.blogspot.com/2009/10/javascript-touch-and-gesture-events.html

Pretty good, I tried. What I encountered before on my project is, I use Ajax to load more items into the page, when the html is small, click is working okay (not fast, 2-3sec), when the html become big, click is rather slow (5-6) or even worse (7sec). You can check my project – http://m.baozoumanhua.com. I use “touchstart” instead of “vclick” in jquery mobile, well I have no iphone, but on android 2.1 now, works very well.

you need to then get the attr of ontap (your function) and then execute that through a temp function.

$(‘[ontap]‘).live(‘tap’, function(event) {
var fnc = $(this).attr(‘ontap’);
var tmpFnc = Function(fnc);
tmpFnc();
});
