How to get the coordinates on mouse-click?

[sapnabn]

Hi, I dont know if this is the right place to post my problem, but I dont know where else to do it. I am doing a web page which helps the user to draw rectangle on the browser. The first problem i encountered is (may be very simple one), I dont know how to catch the coordinates of the mouse-click point using Javascript. :sigh: Can anybody please throw some light on this? - Sapna

Write an event for 'OnClick' on the body of the page. There you can get all the coordinates There is nothing new under the sun,
But there are lots of old things we don't know.

Just a sample below. Copy the code into a new .html file and then try it function CallThis(obj) { // window.alert("LOAD"); } function CallClick(obj) { window.alert("CLICK"); window.alert(event.clientX); window.alert(event.clientY); } Click anywhere There is nothing new under the sun,
But there are lots of old things we don't know.
