Set the mouse position...

**David.V** · 07-09-2004, 05:22 AM

Hi,

I want to set the mouse position in my webpage with the following code (IE version) :

PHP Code:


event.x = 0;

but it doesn't work (script error). I saw in the MSDN doc that properties 'x' and 'y' enable to set or retrieve the mouse position.

Does someone know a tip to help me ?

Thanks for any answer...

You cannot move the mouse. The x and y represent where the mouse was when the event occurred. You can write to those values, but it will not move the mouse.

Here's a cross-browsers solution:

PHP Code:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<script>

function checkS(e){

// capture the mouse position

    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; 

        posy = e.clientY; 

    }

document.getElementById('pos').innerHTML = 'Mouse position is: X='+posx+' Y='+posy;

}

</script>

</head>



<body onmousemove="checkS(event)">

<div id="pos"></div>

</body>

</html>
