Differentiate between touch start and click

Show all headers | View raw

I have a touchstart event and a click event both triggering this function

function checkTrigger(e){
   if (e.type != "click") {
     e = e.touches[0];
   }

   var elem = document.elementFromPoint(e.pageX - window.pageXOffset,
                                        e.pageY - window.pageYOffset);
   ...
}

To tell whether it was a touchstart or a click I'm using
   (e.type != "click")
is that the right way to differentiate between the two or should I have 
two smaller functions (one for each event) which then pass on the 
relevant values to checkTrigger?
