[OpenLayers-Users] Converting the output of getLonLatFromViewPortPx to spherical coordinates

[J. Brian Adams]

I have been trying to mimic the Click Event Example in which a single  
mouse click triggers an alert box showing the location of the click in  
spherical coordinates (degrees North and Ease.) In my code when I  
click on a location the alert box shows the coordinates not as degrees  
(ie. 40 N -76.2 E) but instead as location (4865946 N, -8482597 E)

Since I need to access the data in spherical coordinates, how might I  
transform the result from what I assume is the epsg4326 projection  
coordinates to degrees?
