The problem with the mouseover approach is that disabled elements do not have a mouseove (in fact they also block other mouseover events).
If I was you I would use the following method: 1. Track the mouse positions using onmousemove 2. Use element = document.elementFromPoint(x,y) to get the element from the mouse position 3. Use element.getBoundingClientRect() to get the element position ... this returns element.top, element.right, element.bottom, element.left and in Firefox 3.5 element.width, element.height shabba wrote: > I am trying to create something similar for my own project, I want it > so you can enable the inspect and then it will highlight the element, > I have looked at the css, but cant figure out how it works, I would > really appreciate it if someone would explain how its done. > > Full credit will be given to the firebug team for creating such a > beautiful app!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
