You can use click touchend ,
example:
$('a').on('click touchend', function() {
var linkToAffect = $(this);
var linkToAffectHref = linkToAffect.attr('href');
window.location = linkToAffectHref;
});
Above example will affect all links on touch devices.
If you want to target only specific links, you can do this by setting a class on them, ie:
HTML:
<a href="example.html" class="prevent-extra-click">Prevent extra click on touch device</a>
Jquery:
$('a.prevent-extra-click').on('click touchend', function() {
var linkToAffect = $(this);
var linkToAffectHref = linkToAffect.attr('href');
window.location = linkToAffectHref;
});
