Mouse location, element location...

[aximbigfan]

I need to know 2 things,

 

1. Is there a bit of code to something like this:

var mouse = <mouse cord for X axis>

 

2. Can I figure out at what position (X axis) of an element, like a table?

like this: "var offset = <start pos of element on the X axis>

 

Thanks!

Chris

--for the position of an element on a web page, i use it and it works great

I do something like this:

 

function mouseLocation(e) {
var posx = 0;
var posy = 0;
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.pageX || e.pageY) 	{
	posx = e.pageX;
	posy = e.pageY;
}
else if (e.clientX || e.clientY) 	{
	posx = e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
	posy = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop + document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}
// posx and posy contain the mouse position relative to the document
// Do something with this information
alert(posx +' '+posy);
}

 

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:mouseLocation(event);">click me</a>
