[svg-developers] Set Mouse Cursor Position?

2006-01-26 Thread Jeff Schiller
Quick question:  Is there any way to set the mouse cursor position? 
I'm working on expanding my SVG drag library and I'd like the ability
to constrain drags in a particular direction (only be able to drag a
slider left/right, not up/down, for instance).

However, I seem to have no control over what the cursor does.  If
there's no way to set the cursor position, I can just have it so the
dragged element only moves in that direction, but preferably I'd like
to constrain the mouse coordinates while the drag occurs.

Thanks,
Jeff

No, there is no way to do that. The idea has been floated in various
circles, but there are security issues that would need to be resolved, for
one thing. (Example: moving the cursor to the "Ok" button for the dialog
that asks if you want to download the virus du jour... ;)

I have a lousy workaround for you. Create your own "drag cursor" that you
update with script to follow the dragging action, and set the real cursor to
"none". This will work in FF or ASV6pr1, but not ASV, which doesn't let you
set the cursor.
