Question

Answer 1

A:

Firefox has a tool called "Firebug" which lets you debug the JavaScript.

If you select the "Script" tab in Firebug, stick a breakpoint inside the function and then select the "Stack" tab in the right hand panel, you should see the information you need.

If you don't have Firebug, get it here:

Well... Yes, Firebug can tell lots of different information. But I want to achieve this with Javascript itself, because I want my function to execute differently if called by onClick or otherwise.

Answer 2

+1 A:

If you can, pass the event object to these functions, ie:

<div onclick="ev(event||window.event)" onmouseover="ev(event||window.event)">
  The div
</div>
<script>
    function ev(e){
        // e.type will have the value 'mouseover' or 'click' based on what you do
    }
</script>

Not sure if this will work in my case, but, I tested it, and works like I imagined. Accepted and thanks!
