Backbone.js click event doesn't work with touch

Question

events: 
    'click' : 'select'

When using this event on Mobile Safari the event gets triggered twice when touched. Is this a known bug or something that I am causing on my own?

I've since changed it to

events: 
    'touchstart' : 'select'

and it works great but means that it will not work in normal browsers anymore.

Thanks for any info.

Try this code:

TouchView = Backbone.View.extend({
  events: function() {
    return MOBILE ? 
       {
         "touchstart": 'select'
       } : 
       {
         "mousedown": 'select'
       }
  }
}
