Get element at specified position - JavaScript

Question

Using Javascript how can I identify the element at a given position? Basically I'm looking to write a function that takes two input parameters (the x and y coordinates) and returns the html element at the position on the screen represented by the parameters.

Answer 1

document.elementFromPoint(x, y);
