Definition and Usage
The mousemove event occurs when the mouse pointer moves within the specified element.
The mousemove() method triggers the mousemove event, or adds a function to run when a mousemove event occurs.
Note:Every time the user moves the mouse by one pixel, a mousemove event occurs. Handling all mousemove events consumes system resources. Use this event with caution.
