Yes, you can! I have an example at http://www.sitesuwant.com/exampleXY.html. (http://www.sitesuwant.com/exampleXY.html) You can get the x and y of an image with this code inside the script tag:

document.theForm.xCoor.value=window.event.x;
document.theForm.xCoor.value=window.event.y;

In the body:

<b>Click X:</b> <input type="Text" name="xCoor" disabled><br>
<b>Click Y:</b> <input type="Text" name="yCoor" disabled>

...and that should give you the proper response. This will only work in Internet Explorer 3+ I believe, so if you want Netscape too, tell me and I'll try to figure something out in Javascript for Netscape...
