    Is there anyway to tell where an event is coming from (I.E. a user click vs an in code change of the index of a combo box)?

    If you are passing in the event object to the method you can check to see if it has a target or srcElement. The Event Object is different from IE to Others. IE is srcElement whereas FireFox, NS, SF are target. Do a little hunting on the event object. Your method can check the target and if it is null then you know it didn't happen from the user clicking on a element.
