But "int" not only does not work, it also prevents reading X and Y coordinates of the mouse.

There is no 'int' type in JavaScript. Variables are typeless, their
values have types.


Not quite true. There is an `int' type, and variables can be strictly
typed, in JavaScript 2.0. However, that is not implemented in a browser
yet.


And as such, even mentioning it is useless other than a waste of bandwidth and time for anybody who reads it.

Incorrect; the info explained why i had so much trouble.

You had trouble because you were using, or attempting to use, a feature that is not part of the language. Not because of a feature that might be in a future release of the language unless you were reading a draft copy of JavaScript2.0 in which case you should have known it wasn't in use yet.
