Is the only way to get the mouse location by using javascript? Or does
rails do it for me?!? :)
Does anyone have a simple script that they use? I''m trying to put a
div
right where the mouse is clicked on a link... so I''m looking for it to
work like this:
a hre f=. onclick=Element.setStyle(''title_login'', {left:
MOUSEX,top:
MOUSEY;});new
Effect.toggle(''title_login'',''appear'');return
false;">Login</a
The other thing I''m wondering, is how would I reference the javascript
variables MOUSEX and MOUSEY in that line of code?
Or is there a better way to do this?

p.s. how do i post that full h ref without all the weird modifications?

Does that code segment make no sense? (I had to take some things out of it, or it wouldn''t let me post). I''m just trying to find out how to use a javascript to get the mousex and mousey position, then use it in an onclick call that uses a prototype Element.setStyle(''element'',{left: mouseX, top: mouseY}) -Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Rails is a server side technology. The only way to deal with the user''s mouse is to use Javascript.
