// hasEvent checks to see if a element contains a event.
// @requires jQuery 1.3.2+
// @params el: string, jQuery object, node element.
// @params eventName: string, name of the event.
// @returns boolean
var hasEvent = function( el, eventName ){
	if( !$( el ).length || !$( el ).data( 'events' ) ){
		return false;
	}
	return !!$( el ).data( 'events' )[ eventName ];
};

Demo: (requires firebug or google chrome)

var el = $( '
' ).click( $.noop );
console.clear();
console.log( hasEvent( el, 'click' ) );// returns true;

console.log( hasEvent( el, 'focusNow' ) );// returns false;
el.bind( 'focusNow', $.noop );
console.log( hasEvent( el, 'focusNow' ) );// returns true;

console.log( hasEvent( document.body, 'onload' ) );// returns false;
$(document.body).bind( 'onload', $.noop );
console.log( hasEvent( document.body, 'onload' ) );// returns true;
