最近我发现在webpage中获取空间的绝对坐标时，如果有滚动条就会有错，后来用无名发现的方法得以解决

昨天写的脚本在获取鼠标位置的时候有些问题。在IE中始终当有滚动条的时候，发现document.body.scrollTop并没有起到作用。
后来在google中搜索到一篇文章Mouse Cursor Position，详细介绍了浏览器鼠标定位的问题。各个浏览器对鼠标定位的标准不一样，就连不通版本的ie对定位支持都不一样。
document.body.scrollLeft，document.body.scrollTop只用于IE6以前的版本，在IE6中，对没有宣告 DOCTYPE,或者宣告的是transitional DOCTYPE，那么IE6将使用document.documentElement.scrollLeft 来获取鼠标的绝对位置。

将Stephen Chapman提供的函数做个记录

function mouseX(evt) {
if (evt.pageX) return evt.pageX;
else if (evt.clientX)
   return evt.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ?
   document.documentElement.scrollLeft :
   document.body.scrollLeft);
else return null;
}
function mouseY(evt) {
if (evt.pageY) return evt.pageY;
else if (evt.clientY)
   return evt.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ?
   document.documentElement.scrollTop :
   document.body.scrollTop);
else return null;
}

Mouse Cursor Position

Join the Discussion

Questions? Comments?

Until recently there was no standard way of determining the position of the mouse cursor within the browser. The W3C standards say that the current mouse cursor position within the browser window when an event is triggered should be given by event.clientX and event.clientY to obtain the distance from the left and top of the browser window respectively.

I have tested this in a number of different browsers and have found that Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 6+, Firefox, and Opera 7+ all produce correct values for the mouse coordinates relative to the browser window in these fields. To obtain the position within the web page you would simply add the scroll position of the page within the browser window.

Opera 5 and 6 produced values for these fields but the values are relative to the top of the web page instead of relative to the browser window and so adding the scroll position would produce a wrong result with these browsers. Netscape 4 doesn't understand these fields at all and so would give an error if this code were used by itself.

One added complication is that Internet Explorer uses two different ways to determine the scroll position of the page. It uses document.body.scrollLeft and document.body.scrollTop in versions before version 6 as well as in version 6 when there is no DOCTYPE declared or a transitional DOCTYPE is declared. When IE6 is declared using a strict DOCTYPE document.documentElement.scrollLeft and document.documentElenent.scrollTop are used instead. Other browsers either use one of these values or pageXOffset and pageYOffset.

Although not part of the W3C standards there is another pair of fields that will give the position of the mouse cursor that is useful. With the exception of Internet Explorer and Opera 5 and 6, all of the browsers I have mentioned also support event.pageX and event.pageY which give the mouse cursor position relative to the top left corner of the web page itself. Using these fields you do not have to add the scroll position of the page.

By combining tests for both of these methods together we can create code to locate the mouse cursor position that will work on Internet Explorer, Netscape 4+, Firefox, and Opera 7+. You just need to pass the event to the following functions to retrieve the appropriate position on the web page.

function mouseX(evt) {
if (evt.pageX) return evt.pageX;
else if (evt.clientX)
    return evt.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ?
    document.documentElement.scrollLeft :
    document.body.scrollLeft);
else return null;
}
function mouseY(evt) {
if (evt.pageY) return evt.pageY;
else if (evt.clientY)
    return evt.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ?
    document.documentElement.scrollTop :
    document.body.scrollTop);
else return null;
}

There are a couple of other pairs of fields that give mouse cursor positions that are less useful. The fields event.screenX and event.screenY are defined in all of the browsers I tested. They give the position of the mouse cursor relative to the top left corner of the screen. Without knowing the position of the top left corner of the browser window this information is not very useful with respect to being able to interact with the web page.

The fields event.x and event.y also exist in Netscape 4, Internet Explorer, and Opera 7+. In Netscape 4 these fields give the position within the web page exactly the same as the pageX and pageY fields. In Internet Explorer and Opera 8 they give the position of the mouse cursor within the current object (if that object is positioned absolute, relative, or fixed) or within the page (for static objects). Opera 7 appears to use these fields to give the position of the mouse cursor relative to the bottom left corner of the screen.

还要其他的情况：

javascript 获取控件的绝对位置

调用方法:
var pos=GetObjPos(ID);

function CPos(x, y)
{
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
}
//获取控件的位置
function GetObjPos(ATarget)
{
    var target = ATarget;
    var pos = new CPos(target.offsetLeft, target.offsetTop);
    
    var target = target.offsetParent;
    while (target)
    {
         pos.x += target.offsetLeft;
         pos.y += target.offsetTop;
        
         target = target.offsetParent
     }
    
    return pos;

}
