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.
Can't guarantee Opera compatibility, but this works for NS 4.x, NS 6, and IE.
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (document.layers) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
document.onmousemove=mtrack;
function mtrack(e) {
var Text= 'Coordinates: ';
if (document.layers) Text += e.pageX+','+e.pageY
else Text += event.x+','+event.y;
window.status= Text;
}
//--></script>
</head>

Move the mouse and see the status change
