Code to get mouse cords not working?

[aximbigfan]

I have this code:

function trackingout(evt)
{
if(evt)
{
var elem = (evt.target) ? evt.target :evt.srcElement;
if(elem.id = "trackingbar") 
{
var cpos = evt.offsetX;
var perc = (cpos / 3)-1;
page("?trackpos="+ perc);
}
}
}


addEvent(window, "load", function() { addEvent(document.body, "mousedown", function(evt) 
{ 
trackingout(evt);
}
);
}

 

However it does not work. Any ideas?

Not if you don't tell us what you mean by 'doesn't work'.

It says addEvent is not a valid function...

Sorry, can't help with that one. I don't know about addEvent.

 

What are you trying to do?

[aximbigfan]

I have a WinAMP remote control, and one of the things is that there is a tracking bar, where it says how far along the media is. I want the user to be able to click on the bar, then have the mouse cords taken, and then make an ajax request with that data. EVERYTHING but this is figured out, and it is getting so annoying because this should be simple, I just need the mouse cords.

 

 

Thanks,

By cords do you mean co-ords, as in co-ordinates?

 

- not that I will be able to help you after you reply  , I'm still out on this one. But maybe the clarification will help someone else be able to help you.
