36,000 mouse and click points in I discovered my initial experiment in mouse position tracking had a slight flaw in it, as I didn`t expect the script to bail so early.. So much of the tracking I would have gotten was lost, but never fear, there has been a fix thanks to the PHP function ignore_user_abort(TRUE) in the update script which under situations of a click would bail rapidly while the browser moved to a new page or loaded different content.

FIRST THING: TO VIEW THE STATS, CLICK THE LITTLE ICON IN THE LOWER LEFT. (BLUE IS CLICKS, GREEN/ish IS MOUSE)

I got the mouse track logging back on track… The script was bailing out and I fear I may have some some stats. Otherwise is working well and seems to be attracting some attention from people looking into ways to see what people are doing with their mouse on your page.

I am considering using a technique to identify the location of certain elements of a page and try to attach the div`s to them when displaying stats.. This will cure some of the ills of text-size changes, and from the vastness of screen resolutions.. Though, there is something to learn about resolutions as well and it IS kind of easy to see.. SO… I may just make multiple display modes in the overlay.

I am also looking into the mozilla canvas for the items on the overlay display which could programatically handle them very well.

I have made some changes to statsbox size on the overlay as well as colors to view what is what..

I am mostly swamped by work and life though, so it is difficult to spend too much time.. Perhaps I can steal some time at some point this weekend to get this packaged into a hosted app.
