Maybe you can may be use coordinates of mouse when detect click: window.event.clientX and window.event.clientY gives you the X and Y coordinates of the mouse position.

function SetValues()
{
  var s = 'X=' + window.event.clientX + ' Y=' + window.event.clientY ;
  document.getElementById('divCoord').innerText = s;
}

and then you check the coordinates to fix the clicked text
