How to avoid the 300ms delay when clicking a checkbox on iOS?

I'm developing a webapp for iOS using jQueryMobile. I'm trying to avoid the 300ms delay on click, as I'm not using the double click event.

I've tried FastClick.js, but it's not fully compatible with jQM, as the event is sometimes fired twice, especially with checkboxes and radio buttons.

I use the needsclick class for those cases, but in some complex cases, it seems to be ignored, so I still have the event being fired twice. Because of this, I removed FastClick and am using the vclick event instead. It works fine for the click event, but it doesn't effect change events, and there is no vchange event.

I can't use the vclick event for checkboxes, as I need to test if it's checked.

How can I avoid the 300ms delay on click?

JSFiddle

HTML:

<input type="checkbox" id="check" value="1">
<label for="check">check</label>

JavaScript:

$("input").change(function() {
    if (this.checked) {
        $(this).next().css("color","green");
    } else {
        $(this).next().css("color","black");
    }
});

Have you tried this? `` – APAD1 Dec 16 '14 at 17:23
meta tags has nothing to do with events @APAD1 – Omar Dec 16 '14 at 17:55
@Omar Actually, [yes it does](http://updates.html5rocks.com/2013/12/300ms-tap-delay-gone-away) for some mobile browsers anyway. – APAD1 Dec 16 '14 at 17:59
I didn't tried, but I read somewhere that it's not supported by iOS – Matthieu Dec 16 '14 at 18:09
@newbiedoodle thanks for your corrections, but why did you remove my code ? The guidelines state that we must post code even with a fiddle : http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask – Matthieu Dec 16 '14 at 18:14
@Matthieu I didn't know that -- I'll readd it now. My bad. – Nic Dec 16 '14 at 19:22

I read it three times, but can't figure how it could help me... My problem is not about douple-tap, bu about change event... – Matthieu Jan 27 '15 at 09:59
