onFocus, when applied to form elements, is triggered when the field is given focus by either tabbing to the field or clicking on it so you can enter a value. Most HTML elements are not given focus through onMouseEnter in any case, so the two events are completely different.

The onfocus event fires when the user clicks on an element, usually <input> or <textarea> elements, and the mousover event fires when the pointer mouses over any element on the page. The mouseenter event, however, is a non-standard event used by IE and implemented by some javascript libraries.
