jquery-click-event

I'd like to know if it is possible to detect if an element is not clicked. This is the code I have: $("#mpElement").myFeature({ ......... ......... ......... afterDo: function() { // This if-else statement has to go inside "when not clicked" condition. // Not sure how to do this... if($(".myButton").last().hasClass("selected")) { $(".myButton").first().addClass("selected"); $(".myButton").last().removeClass("selected"); } else { $(".selected").removeClass("selected").next().addClass("selected"); } $(".myButton").on("click", function(){ $(".myButton").removeClass("selected"); $(this).closest("

Any ideas on how I can fix the problem of the function getting called without a click even registered and still pass the necessary parameters to the function? $('#keep-both').click(keepBothFiles(file,
