Hi all,
I have Onclick and Onload events which are calling same javascript function. How is it that inside the javascript I can differentiate that it is called by Onclick or Onload?

The event object has a property named "type".

if (e.type == 'onload') ...

Basic idea of what you can do

You can put a variable,string,bolean in it and pass it to the function so you can figure it out.

onclick="YourFunction("true")
onload="YourFunction("false")

function YourFunction(process1){

if(process1)alert("Click")
else alert("onload")

}

the event type values doesn't start with on
the values are load, click, mouseover, etc...

function blah(e){
alert(e.type)
if (e.type=='load') ...
}
...
<body onload="blah(event)" onclick="blah(event)">
