How to make something happen when you hold your finger on a button?

Question

I searched on google, and I found out I have to use mousedown and mouseup events.
I was thinking to add the function inside an interval on mousedown and clearing the interval at mouseup. But I failed.

I need some help.
An example would help a lot. Thx.

Answer 1

You should use touchstart and touchend events

so the solution is using ontouchstart html element and set interval using JS.

Answer 4

Click event would not fired, if you hold the button in longer period.
