Is there an easy way to know exactly how an element got focus in it's onfocus function? (was the element granted focus because of a mouse click?, because the user tabbed into it?, because it's focus() function was called?).

function(e){
e=e||window.eve nt;
alert(e.type);

wouldn't work, in the onfocus function, the event type will always be focus (already tested, just in case).Comment

If you have a single handler that is called onmouseover and on focus,
and on click and keypress, you can examine the event type to
make some decision about execution.
If you set a handler only to a focus event, focus is all you get.
You could set up a global variable to hold the last event,
and compare it to the current event,
but you'd have to write an assignment in every handler (except focus)
to update it.Comment

yes, you are correct.
unfortunately working on a huge project, where I just can't change the way events are handled (1.200+ files with <input onfocus="focusE vent();" /> all everywhere), but fortunately, I was able to work around the issue I had in a completely different manner :)
thank you very much for your help :)Comment
