I'm having problems with mousemove in jquery. I want to check the coordinates of the mouse pointer AFTER a mousedown event AND a mousemove event, but it updates only once and the result is only the coordinates at the moment of the mousedown event.
I really need some advices, thanks :)
I post only a short extract of my original code here:
P.S. I tried to use "$(document).ready(function(){", but without success.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>jQuery Test</title>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function my_func(event){
$("#log1").html("mouse is down");
var x = $(this);
//some code
$(document).ready(function(){
x.on("mousemove", function(){
$("#log1").html("x:"+event.pageX+" y:"+event.pageY);
});
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").on("mousedown",my_func); //it needs to be a named function because I will call it multiple times
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button >TEST</button>
<div id="log1"></div>
</body>
</html>

Did you forget to pass event on your mouse movement function?
