Mike, I have not learned all the touch gestures yet so I am not positive tapping twice activates the link is correct behavior, at least not until today that I see it in tesco site.
Tapping twice is zoom in though, this is how I understand it, and tapping twice in tesco site also enlarge the tapped area of the page, but it also activates the link, however it takes a frustrating guessing, for example, it doesn't work on the top section of the tabs, but works for the vertical ones where Liftstyle & Community is, but it only works the second time after the area has been zoom-in (first twice tapping), and there is quite a bit of guessing to tap on the right area to trigger the link. For the tabs on the top, it doesn't work, but I found out, the first tap open up the panel, and the second tap on the same area activates the link, the same works for vertical ones too. So this seems correct and echos the desktop's behavior, first hover, then click to link destination. I am not a very savvy touchscreen user yet, so I am not fully sure if it's just me who found it confusing (and I really expect the first tap brings me to the destination for a normal link), or the majority people will find it confusing too. My though has always been, there is no hover for touchscreen device, so I don't use the hover for link, and for effect like tabs, accordion, or collapsing panel, I don't use the same area for link that switches between tabs or accordion menu link to another page. And the confusion comes from this: I first visited the site from iPad, I couldn't visit any page in the mentioned areas【1】but the tab switching between panel is an expected result. Then I visited the page from desktop browser, and I saw hover is for switching panel, click for the link destination. 【1】 Did you already re-worked the area? I remember I also tapped the same tab twice, not simultaneously but after the panel has opened the first time I visited the page, I also remember I tapped the content in the panel to look for link. tee On Jul 15, 2011, at 1:11 AM, Foskett, Mike wrote: > Hi Tee, > > On an iPad touching one of the tabs changes the tab content, in the same > manner as hover, while tapping it twice activates the link itself. > Standard iPad / iPhone behaviour I thought? > > > Regards > > > Mike > > -----Original Message----- > From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On > Behalf Of tee > Sent: 14 July 2011 22:07 > To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org > Subject: Re: [WSG] Breaking validation using noscript - Is there a solution? > > Mike, > > Joe praised the site so I took a look from iPad as I was reading email in bed > - the tabs on the homepage are not touchscreen friendly though.
