如何基于坐标获取元素

Question

Suppose i have coordinates like top: 995, left: 216. Now i want to get the element in the DOM which is in this position (or an element of a particular class which is closest to this element) . Something like:

var element = coordinates().closest('this class');

How to achieve this is javascript (jquery or angularjs solution would also work).

Thanks

Answer 1

Use Document.elementFromPoint()

The elementFromPoint() method of the Document interface returns the topmost element at the specified coordinates .

var element = document.elementFromPoint(x, y);
