I think I'm on the right track. In the getTile function it creates all the tiles for the map and returns each of them. Obviously each tile is placed accordingly on the page. My idea was to fetch this position in the getTile function and when I view a tile DIV it does show the position on the page. However, the div does not get created in getTile so it has no position yet, it returns it to another function so I cannot access the position. What does getTile return to? I think if I try to access the position from there, I can get it all working.
