I am no javascript pro but know enough to catch on if anyone is kind enough to help me out here. One of the only ways I could see this working is by having js check the mouse coordinates and compare them to see if they have changed or not. I dont know if this is an absurd way to go about or not, but I could see it working. So I have this so far, it just shows the x and y coordiantes...

How would I "capture" the tempX and tempY variables and store them in say, var Capture1 and then 5 seconds later "capture" tempX and tempY again, and store those values in say, var Capture2? If I can grab the coordinates at a given time I can then compare them. If the coordiantes stay the same for about 10 loops thorough that code, then my next block of code could be run.
... It is late.... I hope this makes sense, and I would be SUPER happy if someone could help me out, or at least point me somewhere.
Thanks a ton for any help!
