Along with typical events available with jQuery, such as click and hover, jQuery Mobile makes touch-centric events available to the developer. Using these events, it is possible to add extra functionality to your mobile application for these additional user interactions. This recipe provides samples for many of these useful events that will allow you to re-use them at your convenience.
