calculate position of a point on image in percenta

Question

I am calculating position of a point on a image with the formula below in pixel, where oW is original image width and oH is original image height.

var x = oW * parseInt(document.getElementById('pageX').value - $tagImage.offset().left - 5) / $tagImage.width();

var y = oH * parseInt(document.getElementById('pageY').value - $tagImage.offset().top - 5) / $tagImage.height();

Now, I want to calculate same position in percentage so that the point remains responsive. (Sorry, I am a bit weak in maths so need help)

Answer 1

Once you have the absolute offsets, you just divide by the total width or height (and multiply by 100 to get it as a percentage).

Here's an example, adapted from this answer.

$(".test").click(function(e){
  var offset = $(this).offset();
  alert('x = ' + ((e.pageX - offset.left) / $(this).outerWidth() * 100) + "%" );
  alert('y = ' + ((e.pageY - offset.top) / $(this).outerHeight() * 100) + "%" );
});

.test {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: green;
  margin-left: 50px;
  margin-top: 20px;
}
