Javascript: click vs dblclick

Rails
1

Hi All,

I have some issues with click and dblclick event. I am listening both of
them on some div but when I issue a dblclick, I get two single click
plus another dblclick event.

Do you know how to handle that and get only a single dblclick ?

Basically browsers don’t wait for a second click to fire off one
event. That’s why every book and post I’ve read advises against the
use of click and double click on the same element, and rightfully so
imho.

Ok, but as Apple is using it with Mobile.Me, I thought there was an easy
way to do it.

I will use a button then.
