active_links conflict with onEmptyClick( .. addEventNow

I have active_links activated so that I can click on the date number in the month view tab. However, since I implement addEventNow using onEmptyClick, when the date number is clicked and the view changes to the day tab, a lightbox opens.
How do I check if the date number, specifically, was clicked in the month tab view (note that I still would like to open a lightbox in the month view if the date number was not clicked on).
thanks in advance,
Irv
