I'm trying to write some jQuery to do the following:
If a user clicks once on an object, do X.
If a user clicks twice on an object, do Y, but not X.
I've been having some trouble with this as, obviously, a double-click
will trigger the single-click twice. Here is a failed attempt:
$('.todo_item h2').live('click', function() {
var startTime = new Date();
$(this).mousedown(function() {
var endTime = new Date();
if (Math.abs(endTime - startTime) < 300) { editInPlace }
else { showExtra }
});
});
where editInPlace and showExtra are some functions I have defined
elsewhere in the document. This method, however, relies on a second
click, or mousedown at least, to work, which fails if the user only
clicks once.
I have also looked into setTimeout but without any fruitful results.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to code thsi?
