preventDefault doesn't work in WP8

CheloXL commented 9 years ago

Simple test case: In desktop/iDevices, this is working fine. I get a "Tap event" and nothing else. But in WP8 (Tested Lumia 520) I get the "Tap event", but the event is not prevented and the link executes normally.

    <div id="console" style="font-family: Consolas, Courier New, monospace"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    document.getElementById('link').addEventListener('tap', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        document.getElementById('console').innerHTML +="<p>Tap event</p>";
    });
    </script>
</body>

Hey @CheloXL, please try version 1.0.2 to see if it's fixed.

Thanks, @ezhlobo.
