Get HTML5 Canvas Click Coordinates

Click coordinates for HTML5 canvas element can be obtained using both layerX, layerY property or offsetX, offsetY of the click event. Firefox does not support offsetX, offsetY so we have to use layerX, layerY and opera does not support layerX, layerY, so we have to use offsetX, offsetY.

    ctx.closePath();
    
    // listen for click event
    canvas.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
        var cX,    // will contain clicked x co-ordinate
            cY;    // will contain clicked y y co-ordinate
        if (e.offsetX == null) { // in case of Firefox
            cX = e.layerX;
            cY = e.layerY;
        } else { // in case of Opera layerX does not work, use offsetX instead
            cX = e.offsetX;
            cY = e.offsetY;
        }
        console.log("clicked at: " + cX + " " + cY);
    }, true);
