Prevent jQuery .on click event in mobile browsers












0















I have a small click event that i'm using to play/pause a video html5 tag when i'm on desktop but today i realized that the same event is triggered in mobile browsers aswell and i would like to prevent that from happening



var video = $('#player');
video.on('click', function(e){
this.paused ? this.play() : this.pause();
});

    Maybe you can check the width of the screen (Read here: stackoverflow.com/questions/1248081/…) before executing the code with an IF condition.

  • I agree conditional functionality based on screen width might be the best option, but if you want to detect mobile devices, also see What is the best way to detect a mobile device in jQuery?
