pointermove | onpointermove event

Dispatched when a pointer changes coordinates, button state, pressure, tilt, or contact geometry (for example, width and height).

Note As of Internet Explorer 11, the Microsoft vendor prefixed version of this event (MSPointerMove) is no longer supported. Instead, use the non-prefixed lowercase name, pointermove, which is better for standards compliance and future compatibility.
