Question: So if I have a select list of lets say dates that looks like 

```
<option value="624e70cb-2796-4029-bd09-2642abaa54b4">1989</option>
<option value="ff591d9a-e8a4-4280-829b-9307b7b41912">1988</option>
<option value="f2e9e756-7c59-4883-89b5-9c8cccf85ad6">1987</option>
<option value="c65d6a65-441f-4cb5-9e6d-d9de58efb060">1986</option>
<option value="27aa2cd0-f77a-48c0-83f3-5348d5a7239f">1985</option>
<option value="50e375c0-a1fa-405e-8ec9-a3f220041a39">1984</option>

```

if I have a string that holds the value 86 is there a good way to select:

```
<option value="c65d6a65-441f-4cb5-9e6d-d9de58efb060">1986</option>

```

with jquery?

Answer: 
If it's still actual, you can use [this](https://github.com/jtangelder/faketouches.js) library to test touch events. It's used to test touch for Hammer.
One possible way is to [install the Android SDK](http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html) and use the browser in the emulator. I'd advise an Android 2.x image as emulation is a bit slow, especially the 3.x and 4.0 images.
