Body OnClick event... detect name/id of element clicked on?

Is it possible to detect where on a page the click occurred when the OnClick
event of the BODY tag is fired?

Thx

Yes, at least in IE. Horizontal: event.clientX - Vertical:
event.clientY.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

Yes, but it's bloody tricky.

Ick... that doesn't look very friendly at all.

.... so any idea if it's possible to detect where in a document a click
occurs (ie, within which element, or span or div, etc?)

Thx
