Mouse movement detect
I need a little help with a timer function. It needs to be possible to reset the timer if:
* mouse movement is detected
* any key is pressed
I have experimented with onMouseMove attached to the BODY tag, but it constantly triggered the action required (an alert, for the initial purposes of testing) - I got into a loop and could never get out!
Has anyone used anything like this before? And if so, could you help?

If you were using .NET then this would be easy to implement. Never say a script that does what your talking about. I will put my feelers out and let you know what i get

You are looking at some advanced event handling techniques and yes javascript should be able to pull that off. (without .net)

Well they used to have around 5 of them and they covered every detail. Hmmm...

Those may help. Event handling in javascript is excellent but once again the cross browser aspect makes it an irratating concept.Maelstrom Personal - Apparition Visions

Here's something from Dan Steinman' DHTML API about capturing the mouse x/y position.
Don't know if it would be possible to grab the x and y and then if that changes do what you need to do?
