jQuery check if it is clicked or not

Question

$( element ).click( function() {  }); 

How can I check if the element is clicked or not? I'm doing like that

function element() {     $( "#element" ).click( function() {         return 0;     } ); } if( element() == 0 ) {     alert( "yes" ); } else {     alert( "no" ); } 

But it's not returning anything.

You could use .data():

$("#element").click(function(){     $(this).data('clicked', true); }); 

and then check it with:

if($('#element').data('clicked')) {     alert('yes'); } 

To get a better answer you need to provide more information.

Update:

Based on your comment, I understand you want something like:

$("#element").click(function(){     var $this = $(this);     if($this.data('clicked')) {         func(some, other, parameters);     }     else {         $this.data('clicked', true);         func(some, parameter);     } });
