Track Mouse Coordinates Outside Window

Dec 17, 2006

How can I track the mouse coordinates outside the active window? No
one can tell me its not possible because Google Spreadsheets and
EditGrid both do it. When you drag down to select cells these
spreadsheet programs are capable of properly selecting the cells based
on where the mouse is, even though the mouse is way outside the
browser. I haven't been able to find any info on it or figure it out
myself. How is this possible?

Getting Mouse Coordinates In Safari 1.3

Oct 14, 2005

I've been having an issue with Safari when it comes to getting mouse coordinates after clicking on an element - specifically the Y coordinate. For some reason, the 0 position is the bottom left corner of the window. The further down the page, the lower the number gets. This is crazy behavior - I have this stupid thing working in every other browser, but Safari.

My script is modeled after the standard Quirksmode script:

function doSomething(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;
posy = e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop;
}
// posx and posy contain the mouse position relative to the document
// Do something with this information
alert(posy);
}

My test HTML is like so:

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<input type="checkbox"
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<input type="checkbox"

Any help?

Floating DIV Appear On Mousehover At Mouse Coordinates?

Apr 21, 2011

I have a Div that is set to display:none with CSS, and I have it set to appear when the mouse is hovered over an anchor. It all works fine and dandy, but I want the div to appear at the coordinates of my mouse cursor and follow it around until it's taking off of the anchor, when the div will be hidden again.

Here's the live page: [URL]

Here's my javascript:

Code:
var cX = 0; var cY = 0; var rX = 0; var rY = 0;
function UpdateCursorPosition(e){ cX = e.pageX; cY = e.pageY;}
function UpdateCursorPositionDocAll(e){ cX = event.clientX; cY = event.clientY;}
if(document.all) { document.onmousemove = UpdateCursorPositionDocAll; }

[Code]....

Javascript Functions To Find Mouse Coordinates?

Mar 20, 2006

Are there javascript functions to find the cursor position of a mouse? Also, are there javascript functions to find if the mouse cursor is within a listbox? A C# code sample is shown below:

Listbox lb; //lb is a listbox
Point cpos = lb.PointToClient(Cursor.Position); //find coordinates of mouse
if(lb.ClientRectangle.Contains(cpos)) //if mouse cursor is within the listbox

Are there any javascript functions which can do the same as the above c# methods?

Mouse Coordinates Hack / Zombies Not Created At All

Oct 17, 2011

Now, the code I have now works perfectly fine, as advertised, but I had a bit of a hack with my mouse coordinates. The program is a simple one that creates an image at the spot where the user clicks.

<script type="text/javascript">
var zombies = 0;
function stamp(x,y) {
/*This is me offsetting my co-ordinates. The image is 200px x 200px, so I shouldn't have to offset it by that much to fix it.*/
x = x - 370;
y = y - 250;
var i = new Image();
i.src = 'images/Zombies.gif';
document.getElementById('target').appendChild(i);
i.style.position = "absolute";
i.style.left = (x + "px");
i.style.top = (y + "px");
zombies++;
if (zombies == 10) {
var answer = confirm("Ahh!! That's a lot of Zombies! Flee back to the main menu?");
if (answer)
location.href = "index.html";
else
alert("Good Luck.")}

That's my script, and this is all I have in the html:
<body id="target" onclick="stamp(event.pageX, event.pageY);">
The other problem I have is that it doesn't create the zombies at all in Chrome or IE. I believe it has something to do with the
"document.getElementById('target').appendChild(i);"
because I've had troubles with that before.

Cross Browser Mouse Cursor Coordinates

Mar 9, 2001

how do you retrieve the mouse cursor coordinates with Javascript?

the only method i know works only with ie... how do you make it compatible with opera, netscape 6 and netscape 4.7?

i was thinking of using overLIB, but it has too many extra features - i just need the popup without any extra options. overLIB is 7 kb... thats too big.

JQuery :: Use To Track Visitors Mouse Movements And Clicks And Then Playback?

May 15, 2009

Use jquery to track visitors mouse movements and clicks and then playback. Here is the proof of concept:Uses: jQuery and php. jquery records mouse moves and clicks, sends data via ajax to a php page, the php page writes the mouse events to a text file.When you go to the playback page, jquery connects to a php page that reads the text file and moves the mouse accordingly

Track User's Actions (mouse Clicks) Inside Frames (or Another Means)?

May 27, 2009

I am building a website that offers cash to users for completing offers. Such as signing up on a site and you get $1. I have very little javascript knowledge. But I do know that it can be used to "listen" for mouse clicks and such. So I am wondering how to go about it. Can I somehow, listen for mouseclicks a user makes, tracking what they clicked on, when they clicked on it, etc. inside a iframe, then pass the values thru php into my DB? I have also just started learning about cookies too, The other 'offer' sites I am a member of, and I would like to duplicate, (ex. www.inboxdollars.com) say sit uses cookies to track user actions for verifications.

Keeping Track Of What Window Is Active

Jun 20, 2007

Right now, I have multiple draggable windows on my site. The problem is, that only the most recently created box is draggable and I clicking the other box doesn't work.

Where you can click and drag different boxes. The problem is I don't know how to implement this. When the two boxes are up and I click on one box, it completly ignores the other box. I realize in my code I need to update widget1 but I'm not entirely sure how I can do that. I call the method below using: document.onmousedown=selectMouse; in my javascript

If it helps, the windows are all contained in a <div> tag with the id 'closewid'
Each of the new windows that opens had the id "widget"+a number.


46 function selectMouse(e)
47 {
48 if(firefox)
49 {
50 var p=e.target;
51 if(p.attributes['id'] && p.attributes['id'].value=="titlebar")
52 {
53 //document.write(p.attributes[0].nodeValue);
54 isDrag=true;
55 x=e.clientX;
56 y=e.clientY;
57 tx=parseInt(document.getElementById('widget1').style.left);
58 ty=parseInt(document.getElementById('widget1').style.top);
59 }
60 }
61 else
62 {
63 var p=event.srcElement;
64 if(p.attributes['id'] && p.attributes['id'].value=="titlebar")
65 {
66 isDrag=true;
67 x=event.clientX;
68 y=event.clientY;
69 tx=parseInt(document.getElementById('widget1').style.left);
70 ty=parseInt(document.getElementById('widget1').style.top);
71 }
72 }

OnClick Window.Open With Mouse Right Hand Context Menu

Aug 17, 2011

Using onclick=window.open function in js to open a pdf file link in a new popup window. Works fine to display the file onscreen, but not if the user wants to save the file client-side to their computer. The right-hand-button context menu for the mouse will allow the user to download, but the file saved will be a html dump file for the webpage and the name of the file will be that for the webpage. Of course I can use the easy <a href> method for download links and the mouse context menu options will be as expected, but I can only use target="-blank" or target="_self". I need a popup window to open.

Could use :
oncontextmenu="alert('Left click the link to open, and then SAVE from with the pdf viewer')
to advise users how to save the file, and could use:
"javascript: void(0)"
To eliminate most mouse context menu options, so the user won't bother try. So how can I get a link to a file which can be viewed in a popup window and downloaded using mouse right-hand context menu?

AddEventListener For IE - Scroll When The Mouse Is Held Down Within 1/3 Of The Page Height Of The Window Edge

Aug 18, 2009

I'm creating a script which causes the page to scroll when the mouse is held down within 1/3 of the page height of the window edge. An example can be found at [URL], and is working fine in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, but not in IE. I'm 90% certain this is due to the browser's non-handling of addEventListener, but I'm not sure how to fix this...I've tried the following so far:
