Are you doing this as a stand alone VBScript, or within a webpage?

I found a method to work.
<BODY onmousemove="window.name = window.event.x + '|' + window.event.y">
My vbscript then gets the value in "window.name" when it traps a double_click event. Is there any reason, however, that "window.name" is a bad place to store this value? If that is so, is there a better place to store it?
