I am hoping to track the position of the mouse cursor, periodically every t mseconds. So essentially, when a page loads – this tracker should start and for (say) every 100 ms, I should get the new value of posX and posY and print it out in the form.
I tried the following code – but the values do not get refreshed – only the initial values of posX and posY show up in the form boxes. Any ideas on how I can get this up and running ?
<html>
<head>
<title> Track Mouse </title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function mouse_position()
{
var e = window.event;
var posX = e.clientX;
var posY = e.clientY;
document.Form1.posx.value = posX;
document.Form1.posy.value = posY;
var t = setTimeout(mouse_position,100);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="mouse_position()">
<form name="Form1">
POSX: <input type="text" name="posx"><br>
POSY: <input type="text" name="posy"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>
