Do you want to find out the current mouse position using JavaScript? Check out this tutorial based on JQuery.

The Internet is full of examples on how to capture the mouse position with JavaScript, try one of these:

Answer 3

Do you mean a plug-in for the browser that will show you the mouse cursor’s position, whilst you’re developing the site?

I haven’t heard of any plug-ins, but you might try Andy Budd’s layout grid bookmarklet.

Doesn’t quite give you the mouse cursor’s position, but might make it possible to make it out.
