Cursor Position

[gebura]

Hello

Is anybody knowing a good way (the most will be by using X library) to find Cursor position ?

Many thanks

You can use the mousemove event to find it - it will be at e.clientX, e.ClientY.

You might want to use prototype library, check Event.pointerX and Event.pointerY method.

prototype have problems with json reference implementation,so i chose to not use it.

i didn't find any good way to get "e" since i am unable to use
window.onmousemove = afunction and get params

is there any way to do something like e = new mouseEvent (); ?

many thanks

more explanations may be usefull:

if have a function name show_infobulle( msg) witch is cast by some onmouseover function like <p onmouseover="show_infobulle('hello')" >

because i use show_infobulle(msg) i am unable to make something like onmouseover= show_infobulle without loosing 'msg'

so i don't find any good way to get the mousevent from witch i can get pageX etc...

please scuse my poor english

If you are using the X Library, then...

<p onmouseover="show_infobulle(event, 'hello')">...</p>

function show_infobulle(event, msg)
{
  var e = new xEvent(event);
  alert(msg + '\n\nx = ' + e.pageX + '\n\ny = ' + e.pageY);
}

Ref: xEvent
