How to tell pointer's current x-y coordinates

Question

Using JavaScript, I would like to find the x-y coordinates of cursor pointer on the screen in a HTML webpage.

Have you searched at all for this? Resources exist for this everywhere. — Carcigenicate, Jul 02 '17 at 15:22

This will tell you the current x-y coordinates.(displayed in console)

function move(e){
  console.log("x" + e.clientX); 
    console.log("y" + e.clientY);
}

 .box{     
      width: 600px;
   height: 500px;
   border: 1px solid black;
      }

<body>
 <div class="box" onmousemove="move(event)">

 </div>
</body>
