Issue
The following code always shows the coordinates of the cursor below the cursor:
function showCoords(e) {
var x = event.clientX;
var y = event.clientY;
var coor = "(" + x + ", " + y + ")";
document.getElementById("box").innerHTML = coor;
var bx = document.getElementById("box");
bx.style.left = e.pageX - 50;
bx.style.top = e.pageY + 20;
}
function clearCoords() {
document.getElementById("box").innerHTML = "";
}div.relative {
position: relative;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
div.abs {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
right: 50px;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
background-color: yellow;
}<body onmousemove="showCoords(event)">
<div class="relative">
<div class="abs" onmousemove="showCoords(event)" onmouseout="clearCoords()"></div>
</div>
<div id="box" style="width:100px; height:30px; position:absolute"></div>
</body>I only want the coordinates to be visible when the mouse pointer is hovering over the yellow rectangle.
If I change <body onmousemove="showCoords(event)"> to <body>, the coordinates are never visible.
How do I get the coordinates be visible only when hovering over the yellow rectangle?
Solution
Move the onmousemove listener from the body to the element you want to listen on - div.abs in this case.
I'd recommend not using the onmousemove attribute, in favour of using an entirely javascript solution - just to keep javascript-y things together. Something like (untested)
var listenOn = document.querySelector(".abs");
listenOn.addEventListener("mousemove", ShowCoords);
