How to get the starting time of a mousemove event in Javascript/jQuery?

Question

Is there any attribute associated with the starting time I can get from the 'event' parameter in the callback function of a mousemove event?

Answer 1

This code will store time (as timestamp) when mousemove happend first within a element:

 var startTime = null;
    $('<YOUR_ELEMENT>').one('mousemove', function(e) {
        startTime = e.timeStamp;
        console.log(startTime);
    });
