Detecting when the mouse is not moving

rated 0 times [ 84] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 43990 / 16 Years ago, wed, march 4, 2009, 12:00:00

I am able to find the cursor position. But I need to find out if the mouse is stable. If the mouse wasn't moved for more than 1 minute, then we have to alert the user.

How its possible, are there any special events for this? (Only for IE in javascript)

Set a timeout when the mouse is moved one minute into the future, and if the mouse is moved, clear the timeout:

var timeout;

document.onmousemove = function(){

  clearTimeout(timeout);

  timeout = setTimeout(function(){alert(move your mouse);}, 60000);

}
