Hi
I'm new to Javascript and trying to get a layer div to display next to the mouse cursor. My code works great in IE and Chrome browsers but won't work in Firefox. If I remove the part bewteen the asterisks which gets the cursor position it works fine, but obviously doesn't display the div next to the mouse

Any help is really appreciated
Thanks
Chris

function displayPupCurrDiv(url, target, e) {
  obj1 = document.getElementById(target);
  if (obj1.style.display == "none"){

   // ********************************************

    e = e || window.event;
    var cursor = {x:0, y:0};
    if (e.pageX || e.pageY) {
      cursor.x = e.pageX;
      cursor.y = e.pageY;
    }
    else {
      var de = document.documentElement;
      var b = document.body;
      cursor.x = e.clientX +
           (de.scrollLeft || b.scrollLeft) - (de.clientLeft || 0);
      cursor.y = e.clientY +
           (de.scrollTop || b.scrollTop) - (de.clientTop || 0);
    }

    obj1.style.top = (cursor.y - 100) + 'px';
    obj1.style.left = (cursor.x + 10) + 'px';

    // ********************************************

    obj1.style.display = "";
    obj1.innerHTML = '<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fetching data...';

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
      req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
      req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    if (req != undefined) {
      req.onreadystatechange = function() {finishPupCurrDiv(url, target);};
      req.open("GET", url, true);
      req.send("");
    }
    }
else {
  obj1.style.display = "none";
  }
}

Could you share your onmouse... event(s) with us?

Here is code that I'm using for a popup:

var eXY = {x:null,y:null};
if(eventObj.pageX || eventObj.pageY)
{
  eXY.x = eventObj.pageX + xyOff.x;
  eXY.y = eventObj.pageY + xyOff.y;
}else if(eventObj.clientX || eventObj.clientY)
{
  eXY.x = eventObj.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.scrollLeft + xyOff.x;
  eXY.y = eventObj.clientY + document.body.scrollTop + document.documentElement.scrollTop + xyOff.y;
}

Could you share your onmouse... event(s) with us?

Sorry, here is my onmouse event code

<a href="#" onmouseOver="loadPupCurrDiv('pupCurrency.php?N=19.99&F=GBP&T=USD','pupCurrencyDiv');return false;" onmouseOut="unloadPupCurrDiv('pupCurrencyDiv')">Convert to US Dollars</a>

Sorry, here is my onmouse event code

<a href="#" onmouseOver="loadPupCurrDiv('pupCurrency.php?N=19.99&F=GBP&T=USD','pupCurrencyDiv');return false;" onmouseOut="unloadPupCurrDiv('pupCurrencyDiv')">Convert to US Dollars</a>

You are asking for help with displayPupCurrDiv(). I suppose I should have been more specific.
Could you share your onmouse... event(s) invoking that?
