timeglider on iPad - problem with hover event for touch vs click?

[bwarters]

I'm working with timeglider creating some content that will primarily be viewed on the iPad. When a user touches an event to see more information, a separate label pops up with the date information, as well as the modal window with more content. After closing the modal window, the date label remains, floating until another event is chosen. Seems like this must be an issue with eventHover.

See image of the problem here: Image Link

Can I turn this date display off with options and still have it appear in the modal? (I should have tested this in a build on my iPad before posting...sorry).

Also, I was doing preliminary tests on showing the filter button only using css and it worked in the browser, but it didn't seem to be getting the focus for the keyboard entry when viewed on the iPad that relies on touch rather than click events.

Is there more that I should know if we assume the iPad as the target device?

I'm going to dig deeper today into a fix for this. This fix for another jquery project seems like a promising first step. http://code.google.com/p/jquery-ui-for-ipad-and-iphone/
