The MouseEvent.screenX property is used to get the horizontal coordinate (in pixels) of the mouse pointer relative to the screen, not the viewport when a mouse event occurs. This value represents the distance from the left edge of the user's screen to the mouse pointer's position.

Syntax :

event.screenX

Return value: It returns the horizontal coordinate of the mouse pointer relative to the entire screen.

Example: The below example finds the horizontal coordinates of the mouse pointer, relative to the screen when the mouse clicks on the screen.

            document.getElementById('output').textContent =
             `Mouse Screen X: ${screenX}px`;
        });
