Phonegap Boilerplate provide a way to add a clicked state on interactive elements via the data-clickable attribute.
When a user click on a clickable element, this element state become "clicked".
This state is useful to show a user that their action has been taken into account.
Add the data-clickable attribute to your element
<a href="" data-clickable="" src="http://source.tld">My link</a>
And style the "clicked" state
a[data-clickable="clicked"] {
color: red;
}
Later, you can remove the clicked state with jQuery
$('a[data-clickable="clicked"]').attr('data-clickable', '');
Alternately, you can use data-clickable=auto. This way, the "clicked" state will stay for a while (less than a second) and then be removed.
<a href="" data-clickable="auto" src="http://source.tld">My link</a>
