Links need to be clicked twice on iphone/safari

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Go on a hyphenator powered page with an iphone (no matter what version)
2. Tap on a link (nothing happens)
3. Tap on a link for a second time (link actually opens)

I've found out, that a click listener from hyphenator seems to be causing this 
issue by using an event.preventDefault. Removing the listener seems to break 
hyphenator for our environment.

Unfortunately, I don't have an example, because we had to remove hyphenator 
from our client's webpage the minute we realized this issue.

Hi

That's strange: there's no preventDefault in Hyphenator.js (at least not in 
recent versions).
The only listeners that are installed are oncopy (to workaround a bug where 
browsers copy the soft hyphens) and onclick (in the togglebox, if enabled). 
Neither calls event.preventDefault

Nevertheless I'd like to fix this issue. So if you find some time to reproduce 
the bug (I wasn't able to) I'll find some time, too;-)

Regards, Mathias
