$(document) wraps a jQuery instance around the document object. ( $ is just an alias for jQuery .)
The HTMLElement. click() method simulates a mouse click on an element. When click() is used with supported elements (such as an <input> ), it fires the element's click event. This event then bubbles up to elements higher in the document tree (or event chain) and fires their click events.
Use the function getCoords() from the chapter Coordinates to get document-relative coordinates.
The event. target property returns which DOM element triggered the event. It is often useful to compare event. target to this in order to determine if the event is being handled due to event bubbling.
Are you trying to get the position of mouse pointer relative to element ( or ) simply the mouse pointer location
Try this Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/AMsK9/
1) event.pageX, event.pageY gives you the mouse position relative document !
Ref : http://api.jquery.com/event.pageX/
http://api.jquery.com/event.pageY/
2) offset() : It gives the offset position of an element
Ref : http://api.jquery.com/offset/
3) position() : It gives you the relative Position of an element i.e.,
consider an element is embedded inside another element
example :
<div id="imParent">
<div id="imchild" />
</div>
Ref : http://api.jquery.com/position/
HTML
<body>
<div id="A" style="left:100px;"> Default <br /> mouse<br/>position </div>
<div id="B" style="left:300px;"> offset() <br /> mouse<br/>position </div>
<div id="C" style="left:500px;"> position() <br /> mouse<br/>position </div>
</body>
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function (e) {
$('#A').click(function (e) { //Default mouse Position
alert(e.pageX + ' , ' + e.pageY);
});
$('#B').click(function (e) { //Offset mouse Position
var posX = $(this).offset().left,
posY = $(this).offset().top;
alert((e.pageX - posX) + ' , ' + (e.pageY - posY));
});
$('#C').click(function (e) { //Relative ( to its parent) mouse position
var posX = $(this).position().left,
posY = $(this).position().top;
alert((e.pageX - posX) + ' , ' + (e.pageY - posY));
});
});
$('#something').click(function (e){
var elm = $(this);
var xPos = e.pageX - elm.offset().left;
var yPos = e.pageY - elm.offset().top;
console.log(xPos, yPos);
});
Try this:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$("#special").click(function(e){
$('#status2').html(e.pageX +', '+ e.pageY);
});
})
Here you can find more info with DEMO
In percentage :
$('.your-class').click(function (e){
var $this = $(this); // or use $(e.target) in some cases;
var offset = $this.offset();
var width = $this.width();
var height = $this.height();
var posX = offset.left;
var posY = offset.top;
var x = e.pageX-posX;
x = parseInt(x/width*100,10);
x = x<0?0:x;
x = x>100?100:x;
var y = e.pageY-posY;
y = parseInt(y/height*100,10);
y = y<0?0:y;
y = y>100?100:y;
console.log(x+'% '+y+'%');
});
