[Mapbender-users] Extract coordinates from a mapbender map

[Christian Wygoda]

Hi,

you will need to gain access to the iframe's window object and from
there use that window's jQuery object to gain access to the map like so:

// Code untested, so here be dragons:

var iframe = $('iframe').get(0);
var iwindow = iframe.contentWindow || iframe;
var mapDiv = iwindow.$('.mb-element-map') 
var olMap = mapDiv.data('mapbenderMbMap').map.olMap; 

Then, add a click listener to mapDiv and use the olMap to convert the
viewport click position to world coordinates. See the OpenLayer Map API
docs for that.

If the iframe and main document target different origins, you will
probably have trouble accessing them from each other in JavaScript
though.

Cheers,
  Christian
