Click Event Not Accurate in Mobile

There is a strange issue as I have a mobile application running on simple Javascript and I have a case were an icon is visible upon a certain condition and there is a click event on that icon but somehow the click position is not accurate, when I click around that icon then it fires so upon clicking 5-7 times on that icon it fires and when I debug through developer tools it works on accurate position.

My Icon is in Div and when I change the div to span in developer tools it works as expected When I change this div to span and deploy again it does not work so the thing is that when I change div and span at run time in developer tools it starts working as expected.

can anyone help me here?

The issue you're experiencing, where changing the HTML element from

to in the developer tools makes the click event work as expected, suggests that there might be a problem related to the CSS styling of the

element. When you modify the element in the developer tools, you might inadvertently change some of its CSS properties, which is why it starts working correctly.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Inspect the CSS Styles: Use your browser's developer tools to inspect the
element in question. Look for CSS properties that might be affecting its layout or positioning, potentially causing the click event to misfire. Pay attention to properties like position, width, height, margin, padding, and z-index.
Check for Overlapping Elements: Ensure that there are no other elements overlapping the
that might interfere with click events. Sometimes, elements with a higher z-index or incorrect positioning can obscure the target element and prevent clicks from registering accurately.
Padding and Margins: Padding and margins can impact the clickable area of an element. Make sure that the padding and margins of the
are configured correctly, taking into account the intended clickable area.
Event Handling Code: Review the JavaScript code that handles the click event on the
. Check for any logic that may affect the event's accuracy. Ensure that there are no conditional statements that interfere with the click event under certain conditions.
Mobile Viewport Configuration: Double-check the viewport configuration for your mobile application. Ensure that it's correctly set to accommodate mobile devices. A misconfigured viewport can lead to unexpected layout and interaction issues.
