Where is the mouse?!?

[Csaba2000]

I was thinking to use document.elementFromPoint to
determine what element, if any, the mouse is over, but
I need to know the mouse position for that since it
takes (x,y) coordinates.

I'm drawing a real blank on this. How do I get the mouse
position if I'm not in an event handler?

Thanks,

You can't. You just have to make an event handler (probably for
"mousemove") and store the coordinates somewhere accessible.
