javascript - Find element closest to click coordinates -


is there easy way detect closest child element coordinates of mouse click in container?. in case container div

ex:

<div style="white-space: pre-wrap">   <span>e1</span>   <span>\n</span>   <span>\n</span>   <span>e4</span>   <span>e5</span> </div>

in above case determine span closest top/left coordinates click took place in div. due line breaks spans don't cover div

in click event have access top/left through e.clienty;

however, having difficulty traversing spans detect span closest coordinates of click inside div.

click handler: 

function(e){  var yop = e.clienty; }

here links might useful document.elementfrompoint:

from summary on mdn link:

returns element document elementfrompoint method being called topmost element lies under given point. element, specify point via coordinates, in css pixels, relative upper-left-most point in window or frame containing document.

http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_cssom.html

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-us/docs/dom/document.elementfrompoint

so in nutshell, drops pin down z-index stack @ x, y coordinate, , returns first element hits. super useful, though per quirksmode page support limited.
