You have to define a function like:

function mapplet_mouse_moved(name, x, y) {
  var mapx, mapy;

  // x and y are in pixel coordinates and need to be converted to map
coordinates here
  // how you do that depends on if you're using map templates or
something like LandView
  // that only refreshes the page

  window.status = mapx + "," + mapy;
}

Set the verbose parameter for the applet to true and the applet will
call this function as the
mouse is moved over the applet.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I got it working.

Another question,
How do I use the verbose parameter with mapplet ? How is the javascript

function to handle this set up?
