Shiran, Ph.D. attachEvent()syntax is as follows: If there is an
additional event handler defined for the object the event fired
on, it will be run before the function eventHandler()is called.
If you attach several event handlers to the same page, they will
be called in a random order, immediately after the object's
event handler is run, if at all defined. Let's take an example.

mouseDownHandler() be called when the onmousedown event fires:
And you can determine the object it fired on by going:
objectClicked = event.srcElement.id;
