Syntax

.mousemove()

handler

A function to execute each time the event is triggered

Return value

The jQuery object, for chaining purposes.

Description

Blind an event handler to the mousemove event, or trigger that event on an element.

.mousemove(handler) is a shortcut for .bind('mousemove', handler). .mousemove()is a shortcut for .trigger('mousemove').

For example:

 
<div id="target">Move here</div>
<div id="other">Other</div>
  

The event handler can be bound to the target:

$('#target').mousemove(function(event) {
 $.print(event.pageX + ', ' + event.pageY);

});

We can also trigger the event when the second button is clicked.

$('#other').click(function() {

 $('#target').mousemove();

});
