layerX, layerY — NN 4 IE n/a DOM n/a

Synopsis

Read-only

The horizontal (x) and vertical (y) coordinate of the mouse at the moment the current event fired. These coordinates are relative to the containing layer. If no layers or positionable elements have been defined, the default layer of the base document is used as a reference point, thus being equivalent to the pageX and pageY properties.

Example

if ((evtObj.layerX >= 10 || evtObj.layerX <= 20) && 
(evtObj.layerY >= 50 || evtObj.layerY <= 100)) {
    process code for click in hot zone bounded by 10,50 and 20,100
}

Value

Integer of pixel values.

Default

None.
