Here’s a simple technique to get hover controls working on the iPhone. Hover controls are links and buttons that appear when you hover your mouse over a a target area and so are useful for a lot of secondary actions like delete and edit links—a way to simplify your interface.
The iPhone has a touch screen, so you can’t really hover over anything, but the following technique will still work. Instead of hovering, you’ll have to click on a given area for the controls to show up. This area will have to be a link, either an inline link or a block link (block will work better because you can make the click area larger).
Obviously this technique isn’t exactly great because the user won’t be able to discover the hidden controls very easily, but if for some reason you have to have this implemented, here’s how.
