Hi Marcus,
The function I've always used for obtaining the current mouse position
is:
function getMousePosition(eventObj){
if (eventObj.pageX && eventObj.pageY)
{
return {x: eventObj.pageX, y: eventObj.pageY};
}
return {x: (eventObj.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft -
document.body.clientLeft),
y: (eventObj.clientY + document.body.scrollTop -
document.body.clientTop)};
}
However, the major caveat here is that you need to bind this function
to some event. A given browser will keep track of mouse movements
within itself, but I do not believe it tracks movements outside its
window. Additionally, unless a user has moved their mouse within a
given web page, I don't believe the DOM for that page is updated with
the appropriate coordinates. So, long story short, I don't think what
you're asking is possible.
