I'll be honest I'm a newbie at all this and I'm need to get a small JS working as soon as possible - please can anybody help? I have a small insentive if needed ;)
What i need is a spot the ball page. An image on a HTML page that on mouse press stores to position of the crosshair into a X and Y box and works for most browers if not all of them.
Similiar to this:

<!-- Part One:
Set up a form named "Show" with text fields named "MouseX"
and "MouseY". Note in the getMouseXY() function how fields
are addressed, thus: document.FormName.FieldName.value
//-->
<form name="Show">
<input type="text" name="MouseX" value="0" size="4"> X<br>
<input type="text" name="MouseY" value="0" size="4"> Y<br>
</form>
<!-- Part Two:
Use JavaScript ver 1.2 so older browsers ignore the script.
The <script> must be *after* the <form> -- since the form
and fields must exist *prior* to being called in the script.

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

This code above is almost perfect apart from that I need to be able to put a crosshair on the screen and that then popultaes the X & Y boxes with the co-ordinates but the above code updates the box each time the mouse moves.
THIS IS A NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT MUST:
I would also like to be able to integrate the X & Y boxes so that the users can press a button ("play") and the variables of the X & Y boxes are stored in the shopping cart (Paypals or other) and the users can then play again.
I know this is probably asking alot but please can anybody help?
Many Thanks
Dan
