On a touchscreen, when you touch a member menu icon like Mail or Cart, there is no mouseover lost focus event (since there is no physical mouse in use) unless you click another link on the page. Consequently, the popup description of the icon (set at z-index 1000) remains static on the page and on top of the submenu items.
While I can change the z-index to have the submenu items on top, that defeats the purpose of hovering over the other icons to get a description of what they do.
Really what I want, is to fire the membermenu.hide_description function when someone clicks on the icon. This solution doesn't penalize someone using a pointing device but keeps the annoyance level down for anyone using a touch screen.
You would think it easy to find the javascript that displays the submenu content but alas, I can not.
Any ideas as to where I can call that membermenu.hide_description from within the function that makes the submenu content visible when the user clicks the icon?
