how to retrieve coordiantes on mouse click

AbuDawud

I am very very new to this framework. I have managed to get a map up in a screen and I am hoping somebody can advise me on how to get the coordinates on a mouse click. There are a lot of features on the javascript API but I have no idea which one is the one that I need.

I have seen samples where you can click on the map and it brings up a point of interest but I want to actually close the map down on the click event and retrieve the coordinates.

Thanks in advance

map has event onclick where you can use event for get mapPoint or screenPoint

dojo.connect(map, "onClick", function(evt) {
    alert(evt.mapPoint.x + " " + evt.mapPoint.y);
});
