HTML knowledge--mouse, element coordinates and ClientRect object properties

In this article, we will introduce mouse coordinates, element coordinates, and mouse coordinates within specified elements.

1. Mouse coordinates

When mouse-relatedeventsare triggered (such as: click, mousemove), the current mouse coordinates can be obtained through the eventobjectcoordinate.

The obtained coordinates can be divided into 2 types:

1) MouseEvent.screenX, MouseEvent.screenY: based on the X and Y coordinates of the screen ; Take the upper left corner of the screen as the starting point of 0,0.

2) MouseEvent.clientX, MouseEvent.clientY: Based on the X and Y coordinates of the body ; Take the upper left corner of thecurrentbody as the starting point of 0,0. If the body contains a horizontal scroll bar or a vertical scroll bar, the upper left corner is still the 0,0 coordinate point.

2. The coordinates of the element

ThegetBoundingClientRect() method of the element can obtain aClientRectobject, which describes the orientation, width and height of the element.

2.1 ClientRect objectProperties

Property name	Property description
width	The width of the element
height	The height of the element
left	The width of the upper left corner of the element from the current visible body
top	The height of the upper left corner of the element from the current visible body
#right	The height of the lower right corner of the element from the current visible body The width of

2.3 Other coordinates

In addition to these direct attributes, you can also combine with other elements to obtain more detailed coordinates:

1) The upper left corner of the element is at the horizontal coordinate of theoverall body

= document.body.scrollLeft + element.getBoundingClientRect().left;

2) The vertical coordinate of the upper left corner of the element at

the overall body

= document.body.scrollTop + element.getBoundingClientRect().top;

3. The coordinates of the mouse within the element

After obtaining the mouse coordinates and element coordinates learned previously, you can further obtain the coordinates of the mouse within the element.

Take the x coordinate of the mouse within the element as an example, it is equal to the mouse's clientX minus the left value of the element's getBoundingClientRect(), and finally adds the value of the element's scrollLeft.

The formula is as follows

:

x

= mouse.clientX - element.left + element.scrollLeft

y= mouse.clientY - element.top + element.scrollTop
