Find the HTML element by coordinate position (pageX,pageY)

Zulqadar Idrishi

I have an input box which ask for the page coordinate position for x and y and I need to find which element is at the exact coordinate position of given x and y value on the page.

Example :

Input: x=100, y=100;

output: this link is at position pageX=100 and pageY=100

This can be any element of page according to coordinate position.

I will be very thankful to you!

//maindiv will be your whole page unique id
//set the offset values with your input x & y
//add a class to the element
$("#mainDiv").offset({top:x, left:y}).addClass('coordinateElement'));
//retrieve the element
var a = $(".coordinateElement");
