Here is a simple script which displays the cursor position in the status 
bar in NN4.7 (doesn't work in NN6 or IE):

<!--
function mouseProc() {
         window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE);
         window.onmousemove = showPos;
}
function showPos(e) {
if (e.which == 1) {
         var xPos = e.pageX;
         var yPos = e.pageY;
         window.status = "x = " + xPos + " y = " + yPos;
}
}
//-->

Call it up in the body tag:

body onLoad=mouseProc()
