Track Mouse Position In jQuery - Coords.js

Coords.js is a tiny jQuery script that tracks mouse movement events and gets the current cursor position (horizontal and vertical coordinates) relative to Window using the JavaScript MouseEvent API.

How to use it:

1. The script requires jQuery library to keep track of the mouse movement events.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>

2. Create a container to hold the current coordinates of your mouse.

<h3>The coordinates of your mouse:</h3>
<h3 id="h3"></h3>

3. Get and output the current mouse position.

$(document).ready(function(){

  $(this).mousemove(function(e){  

    const selector = document.querySelector("#h3");

    const coordsText="Coords: X: "+e.clientY+" Y: "+e.clientX;
      
    selector.textContent=coordsText;

  });
  
});
