mouse position

Anon

hi guys,

is it possible to found out the position of my mouse pointer when it is over a picture? Like, onMouseOver, i'd like to make appear a layer with text so that it looks like a popup message... But i need to know where the mouse pointer is so that the layer will be beside the control...

hope i was clear 🙂
thanx in advance,

Jacinthe

Here's a little program that shows you the mouse position

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function cursorPos()
{
xxx.innerHTML=event.clientX
yyy.innerHTML=event.clientY
}
</script>
<body onmousemove="cursorPos()">

cursor X: <span id="xxx"></span>
<br />
cursor Y: <span id="yyy"></span>

</body>
