capture page-click event

How can I capture the event when I click (focus) with the cursor
anywhere in the
page (that is, on a component or elsewhere). This event would occur in
an I.E 5.5 or later browser.

Hello Marcia,

the event handlers on the body-element will do the job.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/...html#edef-BODY
onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmouseover, onmousemove,
onmouseout, onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup

e.g. <body onclick="your javascript code">

If you need information on the cursor position, look at these Microsoft proprietary
functions:
window.event.cl ientX
window.event.cl ientY
They give you screen relative coordinates and need an installed event-handler
e.g.
<script for="document" event="onmoused own()" language="JScri pt" type="text/jscript">
// your code to handle window.event.cl ientX and window.event.cl ientY
// or a function call to handle your needs
</script>

The following ones give parent-element relative coordinates
window.event.x
window.event.y
these are best called by an element event handler
e.g. <div onclick="alert( 'x/y='+window.even t.x+'/'+window.event. y);">click me</div>

For object relative coordinates:
window.event.of fsetX
window.event.of fsetY
They give the relative coordinates to the up left corner of the object

Hello Marcia,

In MSIE 6 in standards compliant rendering mode, it will be better to
register event handlers on the root element, not the body.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/...html#edef-BODY
onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmouseover, onmousemove,
onmouseout, onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup

e.g. <body onclick="your javascript code">

If you need information on the cursor position, look at these Microsoft
proprietary
functions:
window.event.cl ientX
window.event.cl ientY
They give you screen relative coordinates
clientX and clientY are browser content area (client area) coordinates.
Screen relative coordinates are given by event.screenX and event.screenY
in MSIE 5+

and need an installed event-handler
e.g.
<script for="document" event="onmoused own()" language="JScri pt"
type="text/jscript">
// your code to handle window.event.cl ientX and window.event.cl ientY
// or a function call to handle your needs
</script>

The following ones give parent-element relative coordinates
window.event.x
window.event.y
event.x and event.y are mouse coordinates within a relatively positioned
element otherwise within its closest (within the document containment
hierarchy) relatively positioned containing element.

e.g. <div

window.event.of fsetY

I'm working on an app where a page is created dynamically via a CMS, and I need to save the page similar to the way you can save a 'complete web page' via a browser. I need to save the graphics, links, embedded applets, flash, etc. Is there any way that I can use native PHP code to 'capture' the web page and maintain the functionality of the page?

Hi. Is there a way to capture the events fired in a PrintDialog? I would like to capture when the user presses "Print" so I can do some cleanup. The asp.net (IE6) application I'm working on has 6 pages, each of which has a link to a "print view" page. That "print view" page has a "print" button which calls a javascript function "printThis": function printThis() { alert('printThis')

HI all, I have a legacy app in which users can pick various page templates. There is a template preview dialog.

Purpose: Capture a web page listing for a current browser session. The web page will be from an https site, and this site does require a login. Therefore, the site cannot simply be referenced by using a direct URL. Example: when a user is in gmail, pushing a button either on the browser or on a second application would capture everything on the page. The file (html, bmp, or jpg) would then be uploaded to a specified location on the local...

Hi guys, Not a developer, but an admin so please pardon my ignorance. I have an issue that I was hoping to get help with. What I need is for the front page of my site to capture the URL that the user is requesting. Regardless of where they go, they are prompted to login...but I want the initial login page to capture where they have REQUESTED to go and store it somewhere (I assume a cookie).

i want to do a screen capture/scrape of a page, resulting in a JPG or PNG that i could save in a dir of my choice. This capture needs to take place a few seconds after the page loads, to allow all JavaScript and Flash elements on page to load. It would be great if i could also/just target a specific JS or Flash element to grab, instead of the whole page. There has to be some great PHP solutions for this. Thanks, Cesar
