Retrieves the x-coordinate of the mouse pointer's position relative to the parent element.
Syntax
HTML N/A Scripting [ iX = ] event.x
Possible Values
iX Integer that specifies the x-coordinate, in pixels. The property is read-only with no default value.
Remarks
In browser versions earlier than Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5, the x property retrieves a coordinate relative to the client.
If the mouse is outside the window when the event is called, this property returns -1. If an element is absolutely positioned and fires a mouse event, or is not the child of an absolutely positioned element, the x property returns a coordinate relative to the BODY element.
Example
This example displays the current mouse position in the browser's status window.
Sample Code
<BODY onmousemove="window.status = 'X=' + window.event.x + ' Y=' + window.event.y">
Applies To
