There are no console errors.
It works as expected in IE 11

It appears the ontouchstart catch in the init function is getting called in (this version?) of chrome.

if('ontouchstart' in document) return this;

It works for me. I assume you're on Windows? Is your computer touch-enabled? This may be related to the infamous #68

I guess that doesn't make sense if it works in IE11...

[Itumac]

I'm on Windows 7 enterprise. No special machine. Suspiciously like #68

I changed the line to

if(window.DocumentTouch && document instanceof DocumentTouch) return this;

as found on SO. hover work in chrome and in tap in the mobile emulation mode. But its early moments of testing.

Here's why this is broken: Chrome has started supporting ontouch events in all versions of the browser so the existing check for mobile does not work anymore and always returns true (if('ontouchstart' in document) return this;).

The reason Chrome can do this is because the CSS working group standardized media queries as the proper way to detect this. All the latest browser versions now support this standard.

For more information, this is how it should be properly done now:

Also met the some issue. If this plugin does not work well on mobile browser, I suggest detecting the device type by navigator.userAgent.
