Jim R Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It might be called object mapping, but I'm not sure. Basically, I'm wanting somewhat of a GUI where the User clicks on an area of the page, and the location of the click is noted (for a database). From there it can be given a value based on whether or not a right click was used vs a left click.

sunfighter Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Here's something to get you started i'd use onmouseclick <html> <head> <title>Get Mouse Coordinates</title> <script language=”javascript”> var divObj; /** * capture mousemove event, this statement will cause browser to * call getMouseCoordites function each time mouse moves */ document.onmousemove=getMouseCoordinates; /** *identify which event is supported * Based on that collect pageX and pageY properties of the event object * pageX and pageY gets the X and Y cursor coordinates */ function getMouseCoordinates(event) { ev = event || window.event; divObj.innerHTML = “Mouse X:”+ev.pageX + ” Mouse Y:”+ev.pageY; } //assign the mouseCoord Object to divObj function loadDiv() { divObj = document.getElementById(“mouseCoord”); } </script> </head> <body onLoad=”loadDiv()”> <div id=”mouseCoord”>Mouse Coordinates position will be displayed here. </div> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/226762-not-sure-where-to-post-this-or-even-what-its-specifically-called/#findComment-1170432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
