Is there a way to trigger mousemove and get event.pageX, event.pageY?

Question

So, like the question specifies, is there a way to trigger a mousemove event in jQuery which also sends the mouse coordinates to the event Object?

So far my code can

Answer 1

You need to set pageX and pageY directly before triggering the event. To set these properties, make a jQuery.Event object.

// create a jQuery event
e = $.Event('mousemove');

// set coordinates
e.pageX = 100;
e.pageY = 100;

// trigger event - must trigger on document
$(document).trigger(e);

See it in jsFiddle.
