get cursor position js code example
Example 1: how to get mouse coordinates in javascript
var myX, myY, xyOn, myMouseX, myMouseY;
xyOn = true;
function getXYPosition(e) {
myMouseX = (e || event).clientX;
myMouseY = (e || event).clientY;
if (document.documentElement.scrollTop > 0) {
myMouseY = myMouseY + document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}
if (xyOn) {
alert("X is " + myMouseX + "\nY is " + myMouseY);
}
}
function toggleXY() {
xyOn = !xyOn;
document.getElementById('xyLink').blur();
return false;
}
document.onmouseup = getXYPosition;
Example 2: Javascript - Track mouse position
<p>Click in the div element below to get the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) coordinates of the mouse pointer, when it is clicked.</p>
<div onclick="showCoords(event)"><p id="demo"></p></div>
<p><strong>Tip:</strong> Try to click different places in the div.</p>
<script>
function showCoords(event) {
var cX = event.clientX;
var sX = event.screenX;
var cY = event.clientY;
var sY = event.screenY;
var coords1 = "client - X: " + cX + ", Y coords: " + cY;
var coords2 = "screen - X: " + sX + ", Y coords: " + sY;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = coords1 + "<br>" + coords2;
}
</script>
Example 3: position of the mouse cursor javascript
(function() {
document.onmousemove = handleMouseMove;
function handleMouseMove(event) {
var eventDoc, doc, body;
event = event || window.event;
if (event.pageX == null && event.clientX != null) {
eventDoc = (event.target && event.target.ownerDocument) || document;
doc = eventDoc.documentElement;
body = eventDoc.body;
event.pageX = event.clientX +
(doc && doc.scrollLeft || body && body.scrollLeft || 0) -
(doc && doc.clientLeft || body && body.clientLeft || 0);
event.pageY = event.clientY +
(doc && doc.scrollTop || body && body.scrollTop || 0) -
(doc && doc.clientTop || body && body.clientTop || 0 );
}
}
})();
Example 4: javascript detect cursor
