Mouse position in jQuery Dialog open function

Question

How to get a mouse position inside open function of jQuery Dialog?

Answer 1

tried google?

$('#mydialog').mousemove(function(e){
    var offset = $('#mydialog').offset()

    // e.pageX - offset.left
    // e.pageY - offset.top
}); 

Edit re: comment

afaik the mouse coordinates are only available on mousemove. You will need to use something like $('html').mousemove to constantly capture the coords to global vars, then do something with them on open

Answer 2

$("#dialog").dialog({
   open: function(event, ui)
   {
        var offset = $('#mydialog').offset();
        var P_LX = e.pageX - offset.left
        var P_TY = e.pageY - offset.top
   }
});
