Registering Click Event

Question

I tried using the following JavaScript on slide enter. The click event registers OUTSIDE the slide but not inside. Basically I just want to capture the coordinates whenever a user clicks on the slide.

function getClickPosition(e) {
var xPosition = e.clientX;
var yPosition = e.clientY;
console.log(xPosition,",",yPosition);
window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("X_COORDINATE",xPosition);
window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("Y_COORDINATE",yPosition);
}
window.addEventListener("click", getClickPosition, false);

'use strict';/* global cp */var interfaceObj, eventEmitterObj, mySlide = null;window.addEventListener( 'moduleReadyEvent', function ( e ){ interfaceObj = e.Data; eventEmitterObj = interfaceObj.getEventEmitter(); initializeEventListeners();});function initializeEventListeners(){ eventEmitterObj.addEventListener( 'CPAPI_SLIDEENTER', function ( e ) {  mySlide = document.getElementById("div_Slide"); mySlide.addEventListener("click", getClickPosition, false); });}function getClickPosition(e){  var pw = ( window.innerWidth - parseInt($(mySlide).css("width"))) / 2; window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("X_COORDINATE", e.clientX - pw);  window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("Y_COORDINATE", e.clientY); }

This code will tell you where on the slide the user clicks. The left of the slide is 0;

var mySlide = null;

function getClickPosition(e)

{

var pw = ( window.innerWidth - parseInt($(mySlide).css("width"))) / 2;

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("X_COORDINATE", e.clientX - pw);

window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("Y_COORDINATE", e.clientY);

}

mySlide = document.getElementById("div_Slide");

mySlide.addEventListener("click", getClickPosition, false);
