Get X, Y Coordinates of Mouse Within Box

The below code will give you the X, Y coordinates of a mouse click within a given box. Removing all the stuff about the offset, you can easily get the X, Y coordinates of the click relative to the browser window.

$(function() { $("#demo-box").click(function(e) { var offset = $(this).offset(); var relativeX = (e.pageX - offset.left); var relativeY = (e.pageY - offset.top); alert("X: " + relativeX + " Y: " + relativeY); }); });
