Enabling rapid, multiple taps on Safario in iOS

Question

I'm using the Fastclick.js library to get rid of the 300ms delay in iOS Safari when pressing buttons and links. It definitely removes the delay for one-off clicks, but I have an application where a user has to rapidly tap a button in the browser, and the button needs to click each time and run a script. The button doesn't seem to register multiple quick taps in a row, only the first one. I'm guessing this is because the system interprets the second tap as the end of a double tap. Is there any way to deal with this situation? I don't have this issue on Android.

I found a solution! The concepts and (almost) complete code are provided here:

https://developers.google.com/mobile/articles/fast_buttons

And then these guys took that code and put it into a nice javascript and jquery package:

You can even get it with bower install google-fastbutton .
