screenX


Returns the horizontal coordinate of the event within the screen as a whole..

Syntax

xCoord = event.screenX 

Parameters

xCoord is the offset from the left side of the screen in pixels.

Example

function checkClickMap(e) { 
  if e.screenX < 50 
    doRedButton(); 
  if 50 <= e.screenX < 100 
    doYellowButton(); 
  if e.screenX >= 100 
    doRedButton(); 
} 

Notes

When you trap events on the window, document, or other roomy elements, you can get the coordinates of that event (e.g., a click) and route it properly, as the "clickMap" example demonstrates.
