Question

After some reading from this tutorial, I have the following partly working code:

$(document).bind ("found_match", function(e){
 $('#status2').html(e.pageX +', '+ e.pageY);
   });

When the event: “found_match happens”, it should show the mouse coordinates in the div: “status2”, but it doesn’t. Obviously because I am missing the .mousover(). But where to put this in my code to make it work so that it wil show the mouse coordinates the moment this event happened?

Many thanks

Try this:

$('#someID').mousemove(function(event){
    $(document).trigger('found_match', event);
});

(I had to change the parameters of your custom function a bit)
