[Javascript] An easy one for the experts :-)

Thu Dec 20 10:36:22 CST 2001

Ok, a deeper explanation ...

board.gif is as the name implies is a visual representation of
a board, squared, 9 x 9.

When the viewer clicks on the board, I'd like to place a 'move-from'
cursor in that square ... (and when the user clicks again a 'move-to'
cursor will be placed).

So, the right algo is:

cursor.x = ((window.event.x - board.left)/squaresize) * squaresize;
cursor.y = ((window.event.y - board.top)/squaresize) * squaresize;

.. well, something like that :-)    It's the (board.left, board.top) values I am unable to retrieve ...

Kind regards,
Brian

>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I have searched the manuals .. on google .. in archives ... without
>>>luck.
>>>
>>>Consider this piece of code:
>>>
>>><html><head><title>Test</title>
>>><script>
>>>function position(event)
>>>{
>>>        cursor.style.posLeft=board.style.posLeft+event.x;
>>>        cursor.style.posTop=board.style.posTop+event.y;
>>>}
>>></script>
>>></head>
>>><body>
>>><p><img id="board" width="320" height="320" src="board.gif"
>>>style="position:relative;" onClick="position(event)">
>>><img id="cursor" src="cursor.gif" style="position:absolute">
>>></body>
>>></html>
>>>
>>>Purpose:
>>>
>>>- whenever a mouse click is detected on board move the cursor to this
>>>position.
>>>
>>>Problem:
>>>
>>>- although the code works (!) the cursor is misaligned.  That is, it
>is
>>>positioned something like 5 pixels to the left of the click and 5
>>pixels
>>>above the click.    I've tried to use pageXOffset and pageYOffset to
>>>adjust the cursor - but I guess they're only good when scrollbars are
>>>involved.
>>>
>>>
>>>How do I solve this?   I know I can set position:absolute et al on the
>>>board, but this is not acceptable ...
>>>
>>>I'm mainly targeting IE but, if at all possible, would like to see a
>>>cross-browser solution :-)
