I searched everywhere but can't find it. So I'm asking it here. I want to get the text when the mouse is on top (hover) of that text inside an html page. I tried using getClientRect, but they only give me coordinates, and not text. Does anybody know how to do this with javascript or html? Thanks.

Reset to default 2It depends on what element you're trying to get the text for, but possibly what you want to do is use the mouseenter event.
$(parentselector).on({
'mouseenter': function(){
alert($(this).html()); // .html() or .val() depending on the element
}
},
targetselector
);
EDIT:
How to get a word under cursor using JavaScript?
Create your HTML like this
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<span class="word">Hello</span>
<span class="word">I</span>
<span class="word">am</span>
<span class="word">new</span>
</body>
</html>
Then something like this in jQuery.
$('body').on({
'mouseenter': function(){
var txt = $(this).html();
}
},
'span.word'
);
If you've got access to jQuery, you can use the .mouseover() event handler. You can bind it to a specific DOM element and then grab the value either through val, or innerhtml.
