capture mouse position on setInterval() in Javascript

Question

I have a function in javascript that moves one div depending on the mouse position. This function is set on a setInterval() function and executed every second. I need to cap

Answer 1

well, if you listen to mouse move for the document and save its location, then, whenever you want, e.g. every second in your case you have the latest registered mouse position.

this is a jquery example

$(document).ready(function()
 {
  $().mousemove(function(e)
   {
       window.mouseX = e.pageX;
       window.mouseY = e.pageY;
  });
});

and your mousemove function would be

function mousemov() { 
    document.getElementById("myDiv").style.left = window.mouseX;
}
