Hover on touch

Hey guys... I have some hover effects before clicking on link on my website and I wish to make same style on touch devices as well.

Here is code example:

<div class="portfolioitem v-small h-big">
<a href="http://dougblack.ca/" class="hovereffect" target="_blank">
<div class="veralign">
<h2>Senator Doug Black</h2>
<ul>
<li>Campaign</li>
<li>Print</li>
<li>Website</li>
<li>Social Media</li>
</ul>
<div style="height:1px;background:#fff;width:59%;margin:20px auto;"></div>
<span>www.dougblack.ca</span>
</div>
</a>
<img src="images/portfolio/dougblack.jpg" alt="Photo name" class="grey">
</div>

.hovereffect {
    z-index: 9999;
    position: relative;
    display: block;
    background: rgba(98,189,180,0.8);
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
    opacity: 0;
    transition: all ease 0.3s;
}

.hovereffect:hover, .hovereffect.hover_effect {
    opacity: 1;
}

.hovereffect:hover ~ .grey {
    opacity: 0.5;
    -moz-filter: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns=\'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\'><filter id=\'grayscale\'><feColorMatrix type=\'matrix\' values=\'0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0 0 0 1 0\'/></filter></svg>#grayscale");
    -o-filter: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns=\'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\'><filter id=\'grayscale\'><feColorMatrix type=\'matrix\' values=\'0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0 0 0 1 0\'/></filter></svg>#grayscale");
    -webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
    filter: gray;
    filter: url("data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns=\'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\'><filter id=\'grayscale\'><feColorMatrix type=\'matrix\' values=\'0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0.3333 0.3333 0.3333 0 0 0 0 0 1 0\'/></filter></svg>#grayscale");
}

And I tried using this from this link but it is not working, actually it does show hover but it takes me straight to link...

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.hover').bind('touchstart touchend', function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).toggleClass('hover_effect');
    });
});

Hi Ivan,

Your JavaScript is toggling the wrong class, currently you're targeting .hover when you want to be targeting .hovereffect instead.
