title: locating elements in touch events (mobile safari)
body: <p>I am working with Javascript events ( a subject completely foreign to me ) and am in need of some guidance on handling touch events in mobile safari.</p>
  
  <p>I have a document that looks something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;
      &lt;span&gt;one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;two&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to highlight whatever span the user is currently touching.  </p>
  
  <p>I have successfully go</p>
