X and Y coordinates of Link Button

I know you can do it with an ImageButton... but i'm bound by the fact that
i'm using a third party control with a link button, i'd really like to get
the X and Y coordinates of the control so that i can position a pop over div
appropriately on the click (using ajax).

Thanks!

It can be done using the DOM on the client-side, with JavaScript. It can be
a little tricky, as the DOM is a little different in IE and FireFox, but if
you structure your HTML correctly, you should be able to do it. It's
basically a matter of either, if the element is absolutely positioned, just
getting its position, or if it is inside another element, working your way
up the hierarchy of elements.

I'm using my browser (Mozilla/5.0 Linux i686 Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7) to do some client-side image processing. I want to capture the sequence of coordinates a user clicks on in xxx.jpg in the following html <a href="#"><IMG SRC="xxx.jpg" ISMAP></a> and save these to a file for later handling. The coordinates appear on the bottom left of the window as I move the mouse, so I know they're being passed around somehow, but I haven't...

I am trying to capture the image coordinates when a user clicks on an image. My code is working in Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, IE, and Opera, but fails under Konqueror (and I suspect Safari). The code below fails in Konqueror when the page is scrolled down; the coordinates are off by the scroll amount. My code in the html img tag: onClick="MLDot(event)" and the related statements in the MLDot function:

I have a picturebox on my VB.NET form. The picturebox size mode is set to stretched. I then load an image into that form and display it. As the user moves the mouse over the form, I want to get and display (in the status bar) the image coordinates of the mouse location. However, if I use the picturebox's MouseMove event, I am getting the coordinates of the mouse over the PICTUREBOX, not the actual image underneath that (which is stretched)....

Hello, I have a simple problem: mark a list of defects on an image. I think the best way to do it is to select a single deffect, then take two coordinates of coursor form an image on a web page (first when user press the button, and the second when he releases it). Those two points are going to be send to the web application (i.e. with AJAX) and saved in a database.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
