One can bind Javascript events to html elements without using inline declarations.
Is there a way when inspecting an html element to know which events are bound to the element? I want to know about the events defined by the developer and not the internal ones that come with the browser.
So if I hover over an element and a menu shows up, I want to know which method caused it.
I have been trying Event Spy with the Code inspector but it logs too many of the internal ones, unless I am not using it right.

From Firefox 33 this feature (Display which elements have listeners attached) is added to inspector in firefox-developer-tools. You can see ev
or event
icon next to elements which have event listeners. Clicking that displays a listing of all the event listeners bound to the element.

Visual Event is an open source Javascript bookmarklet which provides debugging information about events that have been attached to DOM elements.

There's no way to enumerate listeners added with addEventListener in Firefox core (bug 448602).
There may be workarounds, but I'm not aware of any. See also How to find event listeners on a DOM node when debugging or from the JavaScript code?
[edit] Oh wait, determine "which events are bound"? Did you mean which events can fire on the node? If so, you should clarify your question.
