Give this a shot:

 $(document).ready(function(){
    $('textarea').bind('keyup', function(e){
      var $this = $(this);
      alert('X: ' + $this.data('mousepos').x + '\nY: ' + $this.data('mousepos').y);
    });

    $('textarea').bind('mousemove', function(e){
      $(e.target).data('mousepos', {x: e.pageX, y: e.pageY});
    });
 });​
