[SOLVED] Coordinate finder

[HaLo2FrEeEk]

I'm pretty sure this is Javascript (or AJAX) and not pure php, but it's worth a try.  I am going to attempt something where a person uploads an image, which is then displayed in a frame, the top-left corner of which would be coordinate (0,0), they will be able to click anywhere on the imge and the coordinates of where they clicked would be saved.  I'm going to make a dynamic countdown script (not flash, but picture based) that will display their own picture, with a countdown inside it.  I know the script to do the countdown, but I want to know how to find the coordinates so they can decide where the minutes, seconds, hours, etc. are going to be placed in the image.  I kinda want to get started on this tonight, so any speedy help would be appreciated very much.

I know how to get the mouses coordinates on a whole page, I need to know how to get them inside a predefined area (the height and width of the uploaded picture)

Bump!

Put the picture inside a <div> and make it relative?  How do you get the co-ordinates when it's not inside a picture?

I found something, found a workable script that I was able to modify to my needs, hopefully it will work.

 

Thank you all.
