Hi,
you can have a look at how it has been done in the Mapbender Client 
Suite at http//wms.ccgis.de
It is implemented in PHP an JavaScript and can be downloaded at 
SourceForge. Beware that as Palle has said it only works correct for 
projected SRS where the client can calculate coordinates without the 
need to run it throuhg a projection library.
