Is there a way to know wich event called the function?

Hi everyone. I have a function that is called by both the onClick event and the onMouseOut event. I would like to know if it's possible to know from inside the function wich event called it. Thanks in advance.

An easy way would be to pass an argument to the function:

<script>
function myFunc(onWhat){
alert(&quot;This function was called using the &quot;+onWhat&quot; event.&quot;
}
</script>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; onclick=&quot;myFunc('onclick')&quot; onmouseout=&quot;myFunc('onmouseout')&quot;>

Another way is to use the event's type property:

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Event type&quot; onClick='alert(&quot;The event type is &quot; + event.type)'>
