javascript: html inline events - get the event name from its calling

<div onclick="func(this)" onmouseover="func(this)">

is there a way to know which way (by click or mouseover) func() was called from code above without changing it (the code above)?

event.type gives you the event name. For this work in FF you need to pass event as as the input to the method

jsfiddle link here

<div onclick="javascript:func(event,this)" onmouseover="javascript:func(event,this)"> <span>Hi</span> </div>

Yes. In func(), you can do:

event.type

but it won't work in FireFox as it isn't exposed to the global scope as opposed to others.
