I discovered this code when I was totally bored and surfing randomly

Gives you mouse co-ordinates

If you can get hold of dreamweaver mx I think it might have a code snippet that allows you to do this exact thing.

Certainly you could hack that script to show the mouse co-ordinates elsewhere. I'm going to move this thread back to web authoring - hopefully some Javascript folks in there will be able to help you out.

Edit: That Star Wars one actually doesn't seem to be using a script at all - looks like sliced images with title attributes to show the mouse position! In the other one the coordinates are done in a similar manner only using an image map with javascript to send the coordinates to the status bar rather than using the title attribute. What you could do with that one is set up a form to display the co-ordinates and use that instead of the status bar. Some with better javascript knowledge would be able to help with this.

currently the co-ords are displayed via tooltip. I want them to be automatically displayed some where else on the page as you move the mouse over the image

well if you are just looking for a regular co-ord postition, open Paint and do it that way...

otherwise, for an automated way on your site...check hotscripts.com and resourceindex.com

Probably because you're looking for a particular script to do what you want. That's a site tool. I didn't move it though.

How is what you're looking for different from those two examples? Where do you want the co-ordinates to be dispolayed? Do you have a sample page or mock-up we could look at? I'm thinking it could be possible to hack one of those scripts to do what you want.

hello?

why'd this get moved to 'Site Tools'
