<div id="d1">

    almost the same as pageX/PageY values.
  </span>
</div>

<div id="d2">
  <span>
    This is a positioned div so clicking it will return layerX/layerY values
    that are relative to the top-left corner of this positioned element. Note
    the pageX\pageY properties still return the absolute position in the
    document, including page scrolling.
  </span>
