Answer 1

Using jQuery, I would suggest a shorter solution.

var elementClicked;
$("element").click(function(){
   elementClicked = true;
});
if( elementClicked != true ) {
    alert("element not clicked");
}else{
    alert("element clicked");
}

("element" here is to be replaced with the actual name tag)
