What's the best method for disabling click events while scrolling / dragging on a mobile device? The problem I have is lets say a user clicks on a button while scrolling down the page on a mobile device. Any effects I have on the buttons gives the impression that the user clicked.
Been looking for a solution for hours, have not found anything that is working. Hoping someone can give me the expert guidance that I am seeking!
Cheers :)
you have to write a condition on button click event using JavaScript or JQuery that if scrolling is enable then button click event are false and for more you have to display your code so i will help you.
Note : I am using jQuery
You can use the scrollTop property to track the scrolling of the document.
$(".className")[0].ownerDocument.scrollingElement.scrollTop
and then used the disabled attribute to disable the button.
$("button").attr("disabled","");
Below is the complete code to test how it works. Run the snippet.
var pageTopPosition = $(".long-page")[0].ownerDocument.scrollingElement.scrollTop;
setInterval(function() {
if (pageTopPosition != $(".long-page")[0].ownerDocument.scrollingElement.scrollTop) {
$("button").attr("disabled", "");
} else {
$("button").removeAttr("disabled");
}
pageTopPosition = $(".long-page")[0].ownerDocument.scrollingElement.scrollTop;
}, 100);.long-page {
height: 2000px;
}
.popup {
width: 100%;
background-color: #FFEFD5;
color: red;
text-align: center;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
font-size: 1.5em;
padding: 15px;
}<div class="long-page">
</div>
<div class="popup">
<button>My Button</button>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
You could do something like this
var delay = 2000;
var timeout = null;
function doSomethingOnClick(e){
console.log('clicked');
}
window.mobilecheck = function() {
var check = false;

Thank you everyone who commented. I failed with my question and didn't provide enough information / detail that allows users to fully understand what I was asking. Now thinking about it, I should have asked "Is it possible to detect tap and drag on mobile devices?"
