The MouseEvent.clientX read-only property provides the horizontal coordinate within the application's client area at which the event occurred (as opposed to the coordinates within the page). For example, clicking in the top-left corner of the client area will always result in a mouse event with a clientX value of 0, regardless of whether the page is scrolled horizontally.
Syntax
var x = instanceOfMouseEvent.clientX
Return value
A number
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>clientX\clientY example</title>
<script>
function showCoords(evt){
alert(
"clientX value: " + evt.clientX + "\n" +
"clientY value: " + evt.clientY + "\n"
);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onmousedown="showCoords(event)">
<p>To display the mouse coordinates click anywhere on the page.</p>
</body>
</html>
