How do I detect the mouse position when a user clicks on an image (or other element)? Thanks in advance!

Thank you! But what I want to know is how can I access the mouse coordinates from within the server-side bean. For example:

...

<a4j:support event="onclick" action="#{someBean.someAction}" reRender="someId"/>

...

How can I access the mouse coordinates in someAction?

the last sample shows how to use action param without escapement to pass client side parameters to server side.
