iOS 8.4.1 Safari Links not clickable

After upgrading to version 8.4.1 yesterday my mobile are having many troubles. I made a test site here mtest.gearspot.dk where the problem can be seen. You are not able to click many links on the page, nothing happens. I tried with many iphones at a party yesterday. The ones on version 8.4 everything works fine på those with the new version 8.4.1 the hyperlinks and buttons dont react. Also i tried a iPhone 5S with version 8.4 and it worked great. Upgraded the iPhone 5S and now same problem. Links are not clickable.

If I disable the javascript all links become clickable. I dont know what is going on, but Apple must have made a bug in the update. The site works fine on other phones and normal desktop browsers. Please helpt on this ISSUE.

Darn! I was hoping you were talking about some other JS solution that I could try.

What I found with FastClick is that it still ignored my submenu overlays, and in fact if there was a link within the main body that was physically underneath the submenu link I was trying to click, FastClick would trigger that other link instead!

I had the same problem, what worked for me was.

a:hover {opacity:1; filter:alpha(opacity=100);}

if you are using any css frameworks then probably best to put this line as the last line in your css file and add in the !important declaration for both properties.

No joy...

However, converting from using PureCSSMenu to FlexNav has fixed the problem. Other than adding the flex-nav.js library and corresponding CSS file; I didn't change anything except the class of my menu items and it started working.

Something surrounding the CSS from PureCSSMenu is likely the culprit for me.

Our hybrid app is using Ratchet, Jquery and Knockout. Has issues with events firing off on some, not all, of our buttons. Installed fastclick, and now all is working. Deadline coming up, so I guess that's the solution for now.
