Using jQuery .click works but .touchstart desn't

I have a block of working code that allows me to shift from one set of colored items to another based on a span click event that runs in jQuery. I am using wordpress and it requires I spell out jQuery instead of using '$'. In part, it works by moving a variable to the active selection and changing a variety of other properties based on defined variables in the html of that 'span'
I tried changing .click(function f()... to .touchstart(function f()... and it doesn't work when I load the site on mobile. If you think you know the answer, cool. I will now list things I have tried.
This is what my click function looks like:
jQuery(document).ready(function f($) {
jQuery('.changecolor span').click(function f($) {...
});
});
Attempts:
jQuery('.changecolor span').touchstart(function e()
jQuery('.changecolor span').on("tap", function e() {...
My cache is set to auto clear every time I save a new change in, and I've tested this.

$('.changecolor span').on('touchstart',function(ev) {
$('your seletor').trigger(ev);
});

Show all hidden elements when a page loads with override?

I have a page that forces some JS to load on a page that I need to override. I can load a separate JS file to do this. I want to have the page do the .show for any of the .below-the-folds on the page. I guess the best way to say it is, I want all the "more" things on the page to be expanded when the page loads, rather than making a person click more to see what's below the fold on all these.
This is the JS I need to override, I can't change it since it's loaded by the app automatically. There can be more than one of the lists hidden, I'm not sure how much harder that makes things.
function MoreFacets($more_facets_div) {
this.$more_facets_div = $more_facets_div;
this.bind_events();
};
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
new MoreFacets($(this));
});
});
It's loaded on the page and the HTML looks like this:
<h3>Additional filters: </h3>
<dl id="facets">
<dt>Collecting Area</dt>
<dd> Here's Something in the list</dd>
<dd> Here's the last in the list</dd>
<div class="more-facets">
<span class="more btn">∨ more</span>
<div class="below-the-fold">
<dd>Something That's hidden is here</dd>
<dd>Something more in this hidden list</dd>
So when the ∨ more is clicked is when the others below-the-fold appear, and that's what I want to load when the page loads. There's usually a few different lists like this on the page.
So I'm thinking what I need to do is something like run the ('.below-the-fold').show() for all the lists when the page loads?
Update A note to clarify: when the page loads now they're all hidden. I'd like them to all show when the page is loaded so no one has to click anything to have everything showing.
Another note based on another question below... It's loaded in a separate file, and I can load my file before that one. I do know that I can override other JS on the page, so I assume I can override this as well.

Based on your last edit, it sounds like you're already onto the fastest solution to your problem.
Please note, this will only work if the script is not loaded asynchronously, but if you have control of the order the scripts are loaded in, you can insert your script between the problem script and jQuery.
Your script can be something as easy as redefining the function it's using to something like this:
MoreFacets.prototype.bind_events = function() {
var self = this;
//Autostart in our open state without completely disabling the functionality
self.$more_facets_div.find('.below-the-fold').show();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').hide();
self.$more_facets_div.find('.more').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).siblings('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).hide();
});
self.$more_facets_div.find('.less').on('click', function (e) {
$(this).parent().hide();
$(this).parent().parent().find('.more').show();
});
};
Now, that won't work if you don't have control over the script loading, but you might have hope even in that case, because document ready functions in jQuery are invoked in the order they're registered, so if you can't really control where your script is you might play with an alternative
$(function() {
$('.more-facets').each(function() {
$(this).find('.below-the-fold').show();
$(this).find('.more').hide();
});
});
The first will be cleaner, but the second is a fallback for more restrictive situations, and both should achieve your desired effect without completely removing the functionality, just changing the default state on load.

jquery/javascript to listen for a 3rd party plugin overlay to be closed

I'm currently using a 3rd party jquery plugin which when called from a page, pops up with an overlay, and some forms that are not part of my site.
I've been trying (with no joy so far) to be able to detect from my own sites jquery, when this overlay is closed. I'd like to simply jump to a certain part of the page.
I've tried writing jquery to listen for the final button of the 3rd party form being closed, by checking for it's class name being removed, with .remove .destroy and checking for it's existing with .length and some other methods. however, it seems that my on page jquery can't see anything about these elements at all, and therefor I can't do something fun when that dialogue ends.
Anyone got any ideas of how this could be achieved? Am I missing something obvious?
Cheers in advance!

I was able to get this working via the below javascript. Maybe there is a better way, but this seems to be working well
<script>
var bookingInterval;
$("#ViewingButton").click(function () {
setTimeout(function () {
bookingInterval = setInterval(function () {
if ($(".agent-ui-modal")[0]) {
// Do nothing if class exists
} else {
// Do something if class does not exist
window.location = ("#calculator");
stop();
}
}, 500);
}, 5000);
});
function stop() {
clearInterval(bookingInterval);
}
</script>

First toggle open by default

So have a block of toggles on my page and now I need to add another block of toggles on the same page but this one with the first toggle active/open by default.
I've been working around the JS but no luck so far so I need your precious help to get this to work.
Thanks!
Demo
Javascript
jQuery(window).load(function(){
$('.toggle-view li').click(function () {
var text = $(this).children('div.toggle-content');
if (text.is(':hidden')) {
text.slideDown('200');
$(this).children('span').html('<i class="icon-minus"></i>');
} else {
text.slideUp('200');
$(this).children('span').html('<i class="icon-plus"></i>');
}
$(this).toggleClass('activetoggle');
});
});

You can do it with something like:
$('.added_class_on_second li').eq(0).children('.toggle-content').show();
Just add another distinct class to the second, or target it with:
$('.toggle-view').eq(1).children('li').eq(0).children('.toggle-content').show();
if you don't want to change the html at all.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/CDdlH

If you need the first section to be open when the page loads you could simply call click() on $('.toggle-view li').first(). However, this may have undesired side effects if you have other actions occur on click, and it will perform an animation, so consider creating a function open which does nothing but open the indicated section, and calling that on document load.

How do i hide html until its processed with javascript?

I am using some JS code to transform my menu into a drilldown menu.
The problem is before it runs the JS you see a BIG UGLY mess of links. On their site its solved by putting the js at the top. Using recommendations by yahoo/YSlow i am keeping the JS files at the bottom.
I tried hiding the menu with display:none then using jquery to .show(), .css('display', ''), .css('display', 'block') and they all lead up to a messsed up looking menu (i get the title but not the title background color or any links of the menu)
How do i properly hide a div/menu and show it after being rendered?

In the <head> place this:
<script>document.documentElement.className = 'js';</script>
Now, it will .js class to your html element. And it will be the very first thing done by the javascript on the page.
In your CSS you can write:
.js #menu {
display:none;
}
And then:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#menu').css('display','block').fancyMenu();
});
This is an excellent technique, that allows you to make your pages "progressively enhanced", if your user has JavaScript disabled – she will still be able to see the content, and you can also separate non-JS styling with styling, that is relevant only for JS version of your menu, perhaps "position:absolute" and things like that.

At the top of your page put:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<style type="text/css">');
document.write('#mylinks { display:none; }');
document.write('</style>');
</script>
And at the end of your "processing", call $('#mylinks').show();
document.write is evaluated as the DOM is processed, which means this dynamic style block will be registered in the style rules before the page is first displayed in the viewport.
This is a good case where progressive enhancement works really well - if your users have JS available & enabled, you hide the links until they are ready; but if not, they are still available, albeit ugly.

Life will be gentler with you if you try not to make pages that look like "a big ugly mess" without javascript. Have a heart.
Whatever yahoo says, it would probably be worth it for you to insert a little script that adds a style element with a few rules to the head of ypur document, before the body renders.

I found the solution. I should let the links be hidden with css then .show() BEFORE the ddMenu code executes instead of after. The ddMenu seems to check the parents width and sinces its hidden i guess its 0. The time between .show() and ddMenu is fast enough not to show the ugly links (on my machine/browser). The the majority of the time (page loading, http req for the JS files, JS compiling/exec etc) the links are hidden so it looks pretty good.
$(function () {
$('.menuT1').show(); //do it before not after in this case.
$('.menuT1 > ul').ddMenu({

Well, If you are familiar with jquery then I would do something like this
$("#mybuttom").click(function() {
$("#mydiv").hide(); //hide the div at the start of process
$.post( "mypostpage.php",
{ testvar: testdata },
function(data) {
//callback function after successful post
$('#mydiv').show(); //show it again
}
);
});
