Answer 1

You could hide the cursor, and show another one at a different place.

Good to have when moving around in a maze for example. The cursor looks like it's stopped but you will see it again when you move outside the window.

Answer 2

You map change scroll position that will automatically move your pointer to required position;

$(document).scrollTop();

For some case, I was required to stay pointer on same checkbox although a button show/hide was causing a bubbling... so I did something like;

$(document).scrollTop( $(document).scrollTop() + parseInt($('.btn-show-selected-group').outerHeight()) );
$(document).scrollTop( $(document).scrollTop() - parseInt($('.btn-show-selected-group').outerHeight()) );

Answer 3

As other users already have mentioned, there isn't any mechanism is Javascript to do that. However, you can disable the mouse and implement a cursor to do what you need. Here is a link that explains how. How to implement a custom cursor.

Answer 4

There's no way to accomplish mouse position change via JavaScript or any Client-Side Script. The only reason for that is not to give a client side script potential for abuse as stated before.

Answer 5

There is no mechanism for moving the mouse via JavaScript.

Answer 6

I may be wrong, but I don't think it's possible to move the mouse pointer from client-side script. Given the potential for abuse, I certainly hope it isn't.
