Hi all,
I need to get the mouse cursor's position using JavaScript. Until now,
everything was working well in IE, FF and Opera using the
event.clientX/Y and e.pageX/Y members, depending on which browser is
used.
However, I've made some modifications (I don't remember what precisely
but nothing related to this component, in fact) and now this portion
of JavaScript code isn't working anymore.
Now, the cursor's position are still "undefined" , even if the
mousemove handler is indeed executed. The strange thing is that this
behaviour occurs in all 3 browsers, which means that not only
event.clientX/Y returns undefined, but also e.pageX/Y for Firefox...
Any idea on why these coordinates are not available anymore?
Thanks

Perhaps you have a script error? :-)
Seriously, it is a bit much to expect anyone to debug a script they
can't see based on a very general description of the situation: "I had
a function that worked, I made some changes that I can't remember and
now it's broken - what could be wrong?".
Go back to a version of your script file that works and apply your new
changes one by one. Alternatively, create a test case that shows the
error using *only* the positioning function. Remove as much as you
can from the script file that keeps the error.
Your error is in the remaining bit (I hope it's small). You will
likely find the error before you get this far.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for your relpy. I know my description was vague, but I can't
give you code, since the same function being executed in another page
works perfectly.
Of course there isn't any JavaScript error (at least, not that the 3
browsers complain about). It's just that mouse coordinates are always
undefined.
Even a simple mousemove handler like "window.sta tus = event.clientX;"
will show "undefined" in the status bar.
Now, of course on my side I'm trying to get back changeset by
changeset to find out what caused the problem to appear, but meanwhile
I was just trying to know if there is a known behaviour which causes
the mouse coordinates to become unavailable?
Thanks,

Anyway when the user clicks in the box (onmousedown) if they have visited the site in the past a drop down will appear showing previously entered information. If the drop down is longer then the box is wide then it seems...

Hi all,
I am using Firefox and embedding Javascript in html. I understand that
we can use mouse events by coding them in the body of html (by creating
a button or anything and by adding in the events in the <img> tag).
<input id="StdDev Value" name="StdDevButton" type="button"
value="Standard Deviation Value" onclick="readStdDevValue()"/>

I track the mouse location like this code:
function mousePos(e) {
var p = new Object();
if(e) { p.x = e.pageX; p.y = e.pageY; }
else { p.x = event.x; p.y = event.y; }
... (show)
}
document.onmousemove=mousePos;
Seems to do fine on many browsers.

Hello,
I am working on a C# application for an industrial machine, using Windows
Forms,
where the user could look at the screen from a 90 degree rotated position,
like he
could turn the monitor to leave it standing on its left (or right) side.
There are many ways to show a "turned" interface in this case, but the
problem is that when he moves the mouse right, in a turned screen the mouse
cursor goes down (or up), when he moves it up...

If I have a number of random applications open, move the mouse cursor
to a given position and do a click, the application gets the focus.
That is what this simple code should illustrate:
Dim pt As Point
Dim wnd As IntPtr
Const WM_LBUTTONUP = &H202 '//LButton up
Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN = &H201 '//LButton down

I hope this makes some sense. My ultimate goal here is to execute a block of code if the mouse has not moved in a minute or so within the broswer. The machine I am running this on is for internal use only, so I have no fear of this not working in certain browsers, etc.

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,...
