Is it possible to get the mouse position with JavaScript after page loads without any mouse movement event (without moving the mouse)?

To determine the mouse's current position, we use the statement, pyautogui. position(). This function returns a tuple of the position of the mouse's cursor. The first value is the x-coordinate of where the mouse cursor is.
getPointerInfo(). getLocation() might be helpful. It returns a Point object corresponding to current mouse position. getPointerInfo().
The clientX property returns the horizontal coordinate (according to the client area) of the mouse pointer when a mouse event was triggered. The client area is the current window. Tip: To get the vertical coordinate (according to the client area) of the mouse pointer, use the clientY property.
Real answer: No, it's not possible.
OK, I have just thought of a way. Overlay your page with a div that covers the whole document. Inside that, create (say) 2,000 x 2,000 <a> elements (so that the :hover pseudo-class will work in IE 6, see), each 1 pixel in size. Create a CSS :hover rule for those <a> elements that changes a property (let's say font-family). In your load handler, cycle through each of the 4 million <a> elements, checking currentStyle / getComputedStyle() until you find the one with the hover font. Extrapolate back from this element to get the co-ordinates within the document.
N.B. DON'T DO THIS.
