moving a Span around a document

[diana_brit]

Hi
I am using document.onmousemove to move a <span> element inside the document.also inside the span i am using a close icon to hide the display of the <span>

how can i focus the <span> element, i am not able to focus the span object it is moving along with my mouse, any ways to focus the <span> element?

other any other methods to move a span in a document and focusing the span element by the mouse.
Thanks in advance
diana

diana_britney,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

We ain't got many rules 'round these parts, but we do got one. Please change your display name to comply with The JavaRanch Naming Policy.

Perhaps you could simply change the underscore to a space.

Thanks Pardner! Hope to see you 'round the Ranch!

How are you positioning the Span object? - I need to do something similar but I'm just starting.

Focus the span element?

That is what I do not understand since a span can not be focused like a text box.

Guys i fixed the issue, used a condition to move the mouse over the document and not to the span object.It works

Thanks
