Hi Alexander,
This one is really tricky in plain JavaScript because of all the
different browser implementations, but fortunately jQuery smoothes
out the inconsistencies.
Just add the "event" arg inside a mouse event handler's anon.
function and then refer to the coordinates as event.pageX and
event.pageY.
For example, if you're testing this in Firefox with Firebug, you can
do this to see the mouse position in the console:
.mousemove(function(event) {
console.log('Mousemove event was triggered. event.pageX is ' +
event.pageX + '. event.pageY is ' + event.pageY + '.');
Hope that helps get you started.
--Karl
