onclick and disable after the next onclik

I'm trying to set a onclick for a svg when they click on an object the color change but when they click on a different part of the svg, the last onclick would go back to the original state before the onclick. Here is my code. I know there is no offclick!

for(var state in map){
        (function(st, state){
            st[0].onclick = function (){
                st.toFront();
                $('#whichState').html(getStateName(state));
                st.stop().animate({stroke: "#fff", 'stroke-opacity': '4', "fill-opacity": "1"}, 300); 
            };
            st[0].offclick = function (){
                $('#whichState').html("");
                st.animate({stroke: "#fff", "fill-opacity": ".7"}, 300);
            }
        })(map[state], state);
    }

Maybe you could have a variable that holds a function that will set the last clicked item back to its original state. See this simple example. In the example if you click on red div it will change to blue. Then if you click on the green div it will change to yellow, but it will also change the blue div back to its original red state.
