So I am capturing the mouse X and Y positions like this:

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).mousemove(function(e){
	 mouseX = e.pageX
  });
});

And then later, when a user hovers over a link, I want to have a tool tip show up near their cursor.

My question is; Is there a better way to capture the mouse position other than constantly listening for the mouse move? Can I add the mouseMove listener to the link in question?
