Shorten the delay from the onclick event on touchscreen devices

Question

Note: This question is purely hypothetical, I am well aware of touch events.

I have a large amount of html that has the onclick event attribute attached to many of the html tags. The problem is that there is a small delay on touchscreen devices with the onclick event. This is very annoying and makes things feel less responsive and slow, so I would like to know if you can control the delay time of onclick, so it can be manipulated to feel like a touch event.

Answer 1

You could disable zoom for instant onClick.

The delay occurs because the phone is waiting for the second tap to zoom in.
