Links in some widgets do not respond on default Android browser

When shoppers browse the Aurora starter store on an Android device using the default Android browser, sometimes links in some widgets do not work. For example, when a shopper tries to click the Close link in the product Quick Info dialog, the dialog does not close.

Problem

Default Android browsers do not support the CSS property overflow:auto, which is implemented in some widgets that use Dojo Dialog. This issue causes inconsistent behavior; sometimes the links work, sometimes the links do not.

Solution

For links in widgets that use

Dojo
Dialog

, instead of using onClick or href, use onTouchStart as a workaround. The drawback of this workaround is that a shopper cannot drag the widget around the page by touching the link first.

Note: This problem does not occur on other browsers such as Google Chrome or Safari on iOS6.
