I have setup onclick event handler in the following manner:

Imagine there are event handlers setup u

Answer 1

Following on from JimmyP's answer. I've tried this

$('#x').click( function(e){
    alert('hello');
});
document.getElementById('x').onclick = function(){
    $('#x').unbind('click');
    alert("goodbye");
}

The jQuery event runs once in this example. I don't think you can rely on the order of handlers being invoked however you define them, so I guess you'll have to accept that the jQuery event might fire once. Adding the onclick first does prevent the jQuery event from firing at all but, as I said, I don't think that's reliable.
