Have to tap twice to fire event/link with iOS

Question

Why is it that, with regular link tags ( <a> ), you have to tap twice for them to fire with iOS devices?

For example, I have the following in my code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" class="link">Google</a>

On iOS, I have to tap that link twice for it to redirect me.

In other cases, I have links that are fired through some jQuery event, which also require you to tap twice to fire the event.

How can I fix this, knowing that this is a large project?

Thanks.

try to add touchend event with your click like :

$('#anchor').on('click touchend', function(e) {

    window.location = 'link';
});
