longpress: a jQuery plugin

Longpress is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy to support long press events on mobile devices and desktop borwsers.

Native Library

If you want something native and more low level than the jQuery implementation, take a look at longpress.js that is also written by me.

Quick Usage

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.longpress.js"></script>

$('#button').longpress(function() {
    // longpress callback
    alert('You just longpress-ed a button.');
});

Detailed Usage

.longpress(longpressHandler(event)[, shortpressHandler(event), duration])

longpressHandler(event)	Required	Type: Function() A function to execute each time someone longpresses something.
shortpressHandler(event)	Optional	Type: Function() A function to execute each time someone releases the mouse or touch before the longpress duration elapses.
duration	Optional	Type: Integer longpress duration in milliseconds.

Example:

$('#button').longpress(function(e) {
    alert('You just longpressed something.');
}, function(e) {
    alert('You released before longpress duration and that\'s why its a shortpress now.');
});
