[Javascript] getting mouse coords

Wed May 16 11:32:45 CDT 2001

Hi Chris,

I think I nearly get want you want mouse coords will appear in the status bar :

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
ns4 = (document.layers)? true:false
ie4 = (document.all)? true:false

function init()
{
    if (ns4)
    {
        document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
    }
    document.onmousemove=mousemove;
}

function mousemove(e)
{
    if (ns4)
    {
        var mouseX=e.pageX; var mouseY=e.pageY}
        if (ie4)
        {
          var mouseX=event.x; var mouseY=event.y
        }
        status="x= "+mouseX+", y= "+mouseY;
}
</script>
</head>

Krgds,
