Highlight one side border on hover – JavaScript
Question by Vijay
I am trying to provide an interface that allows the users to create a table structure. This is similar to how Microsoft Word provides the insert table functionality. I am using JavaScript for this purpose.
User should be able to select a border (line) and delete it to merge the cells. So, I have to highlight a one side border of a cell to be able to visualize it.
Is it possible to identify the mouse position when it moves on the border?

If you are OK, with Jquery, there here is a tutorial showing how to identify mouse coordinates.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$(document).mousemove(function(e){
$('#status').html(e.pageX +', '+ e.pageY);
});
})
