New to mobile development, how to build navigation

I’m new to mobile development and need to build out sub navigation.

I’m guessing there is no hover state like on a desktop browser.

So, normally on a desktop browser on hover i would change CSS to expose sub navigation.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to do that on an iPhone?

My other thought was to apply a class with jQuery when a main nav item is clicked, I can edit styles that way, but does a touch equal a click in the mobile world?

Thanks

ok, just found out that ‘touch’ is equal to ‘click’. so I think I’m good. thanks

I am also new to this what is the best way to do it

I use Zurb Foundation; it already has the navigation built in.
