[javascript-dev] mouseover zone detection

Below is a patch and JS that does mouseover zone detection.  If you are over a certain region, it will output some info.  I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way to do this; I''m using a lot of "ifs" to test the coordinates, and it seems a pretty unweildly way to go.  Is there a clever way of doing this? (the zones are irregular)


/* BEGIN JAVASCRIPT buttongrid.js */
//detect where the mouse is hovering and if it's in a relevant zone, output some info about that zone.

autowatch = 1;
var Btn0 = [ 0 , 0 , 48 , 48 ] ;
var Btn1 = [ 80 ,41 , 113 , 74 ] ;
var Btn2 = [ 98 ,97 , 177 ,176 ] ;
var Btn3 = [ 162 , 8 , 189 , 35 ] ;
var Btn4 = [ 207 ,40 , 273 , 106 ] ;
var Btn5 = [ 303 ,110 , 326 , 133 ] ;
var thebutton = -1; 
var thebuttonchange = 0;
function mouse(x,y){
	if(x>Btn0[0] && x<Btn0[2] && y>Btn0[1] && y<Btn0[3]) thebutton = "Button Zero";
	if(x>Btn1[0] && x<Btn1[2] && y>Btn1[1] && y<Btn1[3]) thebutton = "Button One";
	if(x>Btn2[0] && x<Btn2[2] && y>Btn2[1] && y<Btn2[3]) thebutton = "Button Two";
	if(x>Btn3[0] && x<Btn3[2] && y>Btn3[1] && y<Btn3[3]) thebutton = "Button Three";
	if(x>Btn4[0] && x<Btn4[2] && y>Btn4[1] && y<Btn4[3]) thebutton = "Button Four";
	if(x>Btn5[0] && x<Btn5[2] && y>Btn5[1] && y<Btn5[3]) thebutton = "Button Five";
	//etc.
	if(thebutton != thebuttonchange) outlet(0,thebutton)
	thebuttonchange = thebutton;
}

#P comment 67 313 259 196617 *true \, there's ways of getting button coordinates and sizes with scripting \, but my question is a more general nature about mouseover zones;

#P comment 40 236 259 196618 It seems there should be a more clever way to do these zones in the javascript. Look inside \, and there's a bunch of "if" statements testing for each zone. It seems like I'm using brute force - is there a more elegant way this type of thing is done?;
