Capture The Mouse Coordinates Of A Mouse Down To A Variable?
Jun 13, 2009
I am trying to capture the mouse coordinates of a mouse down to a variable.Then on the mouse move event capture mouse coordinates again and compare the two in order to produce a difference that will ultimately trim an element.how to use these two functions to capture the coordinates into these two varibles.
function mouseX(evt){
if (evt.pageX) return evt.pageX;
else if (evt.clientX)[code].....
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); }
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?
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; }
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?
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.
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.
On some mouses there is a back and next button which makes it easy to go to the previous or next webpage while browsering. Is there a way in JS to capture these events?
I have an iframe in my main html and within iframe, I'm loading another HTML webpage. In my main html page, I've captured the mouse click event, by setting the "onclick" for <bodyof main page.
With the following code I can change the mouse pointer. However, if you click in Mozilla (with IE it works perfect) on 'Show hourglass' the mouse pointer changes only if you move the mouse at least on pixel.
<html> <body> <script type = 'text/javascript'> function show_hourglass() { document.getElementById("my_href1").style.cursor = "wait"; document.getElementById("my_href2").style.cursor = "wait"; }
Is there a trigger in JQuery that occurs when the user either:1 - clicks the left mouse button and moves the mouse upOR2 - clicks the left mouse button and moves the mouse down?mouseup() and mousedown() are only for clicking the button. I need a trigger that includes both the left mouse click and movement of the mouse up or down occurring simutaneously
I am finishing up my website, right now I am using Flexcroll for the scrollbar in my main content window. Problem is, I want people to be able to use the mouse wheel to scroll that content window regardless of the mouse position.
My website is www. paulfenton .tk/wordpress if you want to see it.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way I can keep the mouse wheel focus on that internal div so I can scroll up and down at all times.
I've got to have a typo somewhere, but i can't seem to find it. I need a new pair of eyes to point it out for me. background: trying to code a mouseover link for a nav bar. everything is working( hyperlink, normal image shows up) but when i mouse over the image swap doesn't happen.
I have 2 parts of code. 1st preloads images and does the swap function. loads in <head> See below:

I have done a little work on a simple script to change images on mouse over and on mouse off. It was meant to be a very simple one but it is not working and I am not quite sure why.
Here's the coplete html and script code:
And I have attached them too, they are very small files. Can't quite understand what I got wrong and when I hover on the images they don't change.
I have a site at: [URL] If you notice at the bottom, you'll see PREV :: NEXT navigation links. When you mouse over them, the mouse icon turns to a Cursor. Does anyone know how I can revert this back to a regular mouse "hand" icon for better usability purposes? The cursor is not intuitive, imho.
I am in the process of developing a website. I would like to use some images. The image should zoom on mouse over and mouse click i.e the image should zoom to h:100*W:100 on mouse over and on mouse click it should be zoomed to h:1000*w:1000. Also I would like to change the mouse over image and mouse click image before zooming.
On mouse over i want the back ground to be bgcolor='#993333'
On mouse out i want the back ground to be bgcolor='#FFFFFF'
Also on mouse over i want to display information about the row content inside a div tag <div id="content"></div>. This information can be plain text or links. Information is already created.
How can i accomplish this? Can i accomplish background through css?
I have this code for HMTL5 Canvas, however this is a JavaScript directed question not a Canvas question.
<script type="text/javascript"> var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas"); var cxt=c.getContext("2d"); cxt.moveTo(0,400); cxt.lineTo(50,a); cxt.lineTo(100,b); cxt.lineTo(150,390); [Code]...
That will draw a line graph, however I want to get the coordinates from a variable in the URL. So it may be example.com/a=500&b=600 . How would I retrieve these two variables and then insert in to they're respective places?
