Eg6Xpm18cs Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Is there a way to move the mouse pointer to the selected text on a web page? (text selected with Ctrl-F). Moving to the cursor position works great in Word, Excel, etc. but I can't get it to work on a web page, even when the pointer has been "cursorized" using the Caret Browsing mode of IE8. Any ideas? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acantor Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yes, it can be done, but it requires clever/flaky coding. The technique I use is to search every pixel along a line, or within an area, for the colour of the selected text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My application involves selected text at the same general region on the page, so a line scan works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
