it is possible to define where the cursor will look as soon as the user enters a screen ?

For example, I have this input, as I define that whenever the screen is logged in or loaded, the cursor is in this input:

<input id="itemsearch" placeholder="Pesquisar" aria-label="Search">

Thank you

    Determining the mouse position on the screen is not possible. Use the attribute autofocus in your input element to give it a focus when the page is loaded, it would look like this <input id="itemsearch" placeholder="Pesquisar" aria-label="Search" autofocus> or depending on what you’re doing use the Javascript function focus() in the specified element, this will give the same result.

It is not possible to determine the position of the cursor (mouse) relative to the screen. However it is possible to put the focus on a certain field, which seems to be what you want to know. In this case, just run the following at the time you need to determine the focus:

document.getElementById('itemsearch').focus();
