I am attempting to use the jQuery mobile events without the rest of jQuery mobile.

https://github.com/jvduf/jquery-mobile-events/blob/master/jquery.mobile.events.js

That snippet enables them all, and works fine, but not with the .on() event handler. E.g:

$('a').on('tap',function(){

    console.log('Hi there!');

});

However it does work with .live(), but that is now depreciated.

So my question; is there a a way to extend the .on() functionality to include the tap event and others? Full list below:

• touchstart


• touchmove


• touchend


• orientationchange


• tap


• taphold


• swipe


• swipeleft


• swiperight


• scrollstart


• scrollstop

Thanks :)
