Detecting when the mouse is not moving

Question

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.

Answer 1

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);
}
