I don't think the browser is technically able to move the mouse cursor, I imagine that happens at the OS level. Anyone have a counterexample?

- icebraining 13y agoThe OS has APIs that applications like the browser can use for that, e.g.: Win32: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms648394(v=vs.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms64...

- repsilat 13y agoApplications in most operating systems can set the cursor position. Full-screen games often reset it to the middle of the screen every frame. IIRC it isn't exposed to JS except maybe for some new fullscreen API (not my area, sorry.)
