function moveHandler(ev) {
  // Process the pointermove event
}
function init() {
  let el=document.getElementById('target1');
  el.onpointermove = moveHandler;
}
</script>

<body onload="init();">
  <div id="target1"> Touch me ... </div>
  <div id="target2" onpointermove="moveHandler(event)"> Touch me ... </div>
</body>
</html>
