jQuery DateBox receives continuous mousedown

Question

I'm using the TimeBox plugin and facing an issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Mousedown on decrease(-) or increase(+) buttons of a field.
2. While holding the mouse button down, move outside the button.
3. Release the mouse button.

Result: The related field receives a continuous event and keeps changing the hour/minutes/am-pm.

I could do the same on the author's site and it's reproducible on TimeBox and DateBox.

The real issue is that I'm using it on a mobile app where a user can scroll and if the user happens to scroll somewhere on the DateBox, it shows the above behaviour. Any solutions?

Answer 1

This is something that has gone through a couple of iterations to try and meld the preferred behavior with he reality of how to do it - long story short, you can turn off "repButton" to get rid of the repeat function.
