I'm using the taphold event in my project and need the coordinates of the point where the user tapped. Unfortunately, event.clientX and event.clientY are undefined (cp. my example here). Is there a possibility to get these coordinates similar to the onclick-event?

Thanks in advance!

You will need to cheat a bit, I made a working example for you: http://jsfiddle/Gajotres/STLWn/

$(document).on('vmousedown', function(event){
    holdCords.holdX = event.pageX;
    holdCords.holdY = event.pageY;
});

$(document).on('taphold', function(e){
    alert('X: ' + holdCords.holdX + ' Y: ' + holdCords.holdY ); 
});

var holdCords = {
    holdX : 0,
    holdY : 0
}
