This vanilla JS DEMO should get you started.

var textArea = document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0];

function mouseMove(e) {
  var x = e.pageX - textArea.offsetLeft,
      y = e.pageY - textArea.offsetTop;

  textArea.value = x + ", " + y;
}

textArea.addEventListener('mousemove', mouseMove, false);
