think i’ve sorted it now. I don’t see it as a pretty fix but it seem to work. https://css-tricks.com/forums/topic/click-function-for-hover-states-on-touch-devices/page/2/
So for the container div i added onclick="void(0)" and that seems to work on the old ipad i’m using for testing.
If there is a pure css way it would be nice but at least people can click through at the moment as far as i can tell.
