Anchor tags are not working on internet explorer when using touch devices

Hi,

I have a simple anchor tag like <a href=http://www.google.com></a>

Using a mouse there is no problem but when I use a touch device (windows 8.1/windows Phone 8.1), all that will happen when people touch it is that the link will be highlighted.I don't want to highlight it, I just want the link to open.

Double clicking the link will zoom in the page. It takes several attempts tapping the link to actually open it... this is VERY frustrating.

How can I remove this highlighting non-sense?

I found an article that seems to indicate this was done on purpose:

It's a total failure if you ask me and it is very frustrating to use my site on a touch device.

Anyone has any idea on how to make links behave normally?

Best Regards,

Peter
