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

Yes, you have a onmousemove event in Javascript, so to achieve what you need you just have to do code something like this:

startTimer();
element.onmousemove = stopTimer(); //this stops and resets the timer

You can use it on the document body tag for instance.

UPDATE: @Marius has achieved a better example than this one.
