stopPropagation on ipad/iphone in Safari

Question

I have an existing hover menu that functions well across all browsers and devices i have tested. Inside this menu, i have added a input box for login and password and now when touching the password field on the ipad/iphone using Safari, it triggers the menu to close. This behavior happens in IE(desktop) also.

To fix this in IE, I used this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".subnav-container select").mouseleave(function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
  });
});
</script>

After adding this fix, the issue still remains in Safari on ipad/iphone. However, it works properly in Chrome on ipad/iphone.

I have tried this fix for mobile Safari, but it is not working:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('touchstart', function ( e )  {
    e.preventDefault();
    var touch = e.touches[0];
    alert(touch.pageX + " - " + touch.pageY);
}, false);
</script>

I tried touchenter , touchleave , touchstart but have no experience with how to apply a fix for touchscreen device issues.

My basic html is as follows:

    <div data-async-loaded="loaded" data-gadget="menu.gadget.MyMenuNav" data-load="preloaded">
  <nav class="menu">
    <div class="tier0">       
      <div class="shop facet nav-section" data-subnav="tab1" data-nav-tracking="tab1">
        <a href="javascript:void(0)">
          <span class="font-family--platform button-font-size--small facet-label">
            LOGIN
            <span class="arrow-down text--medium-light-grey">
            </span>
          </span>
        </a>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div class="tier1">   
       <div data-subnav="tab1" class="subnav tracking is-hidden" data-nav-tracking="tab1">
        <div class="subnav-container">
          <div class="subnav-section">
