Use the jQuery event.pageX and event.pageY

The jQuery event.pageX can be used to find the mouse position relative to the left edge of the document, whereas the event.pageY can be used to find the mouse position relative to the top edge of the document. Let's check out an example to understand how it works:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Find Coordinates of Mouse Pointer</title>
<style>
    *{
        margin: 0;
    }
    html, body{
        height:100%;
    }
</style>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("body").mousemove(function(event){
        var relPageCoords = "(" + event.pageX + "," + event.pageY + ")";
        $(".mouse-cords").text(relPageCoords);
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Coordinates of mouse pointer with respect to the page are: <strong class="mouse-cords"></strong></p>
</body>
</html>
