Get X,Y of mouse click on map

[IanR]

Is there a way to get the X,Y coordinates in pixels when the users
clicks on the map? I know you can just setup a simple event listening
in javascript and do something like window.event.clientX.

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event){
var X = event.pixel.x;
var Y = event.pixel.y;
}

This worked great.

Is it possible to get this same event object from a marker click
event?

I tried to do

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function(event){}

but didn't have any luck.

I basically want to get the X,Y in pixels of the mouse click when the
user clicks on a marker.

No. Marker events do not return anything.

It is very complicated in v3. Start by examining Nianwei's source
code:

Do you have any idea if this is a feature that might get added in the future?

No idea but this been asked by a couple of people. Issue tracker is
the official forum which
Google people read and give some answers.

I was surprised to find only a single star (before mine) in the
feature request posted by Björn
