jQuery Long Click Event

Press & hold mouse/touch "long click" special event for jQuery 1.4.x. Inspired by similar events on touch-sensitive devices.

Using Long Click:

.click( duration, handler )

• Simply supply duration to the well-known .click method and you have a long click.
• This method is a shortcut for .bind("longclick", handler).
• Returns jQuery.

or .longclick( [ duration ], [ handler ] )

• If supplied, optional custom duration is used for target element(s).
• This method is a shortcut for .click(duration, handler) when at least handler is supplied and for .trigger("longclick") if called without arguments.
• Returns jQuery.

Parameter duration:

• For how long (in milliseconds) mouse button must be pressed down (or touched) stationery to qualify as a long click.
• False value results in using the configured default.
• Default duration is 500 and is stored in jQuery.longclick.duration variable.

Event "longclick":

• Works with standard live, bind, unbind and trigger event methods as one would expect.

Requirements:

1. Mighty jQuery 1.4.x:

   <script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

2. and jquery.longclick-min.js (~1 kB):

Fair Warning:

Under intensive loving development. v0.x works just fine, but is very "fluid" API-wise. Till v1.0.
