Try doing a search on Google.

Please stop telling everyone to search google.

You cannot hover without a mouse so on an iPad, you would need to respond to a click instead.

Essentially, if you touch the screen it is more or less as if you click on mouse button and if you move your finger, then it is similar to a drag operation.

Thus hovering would imply that you don't touch the screen. Then how do you move the cursor?

As mentioned in comments, tablets do not have the hover event because it is touch screen. Implement the onclick instead.
