Probably a stupid question, but is there a way of using openstreetmap to insert a map into my web page in such a way that when I click on the map the GPS coordinates of the point I clicked are made available to my JavaScript?

when exporting an area you are given the minlong/maxlong & minlat/maxlat values to calculate all mousemove coordinates within the box.

If you mean the longitude and latitude of the point then you can do this with OpenLayers. OL is the Javascript that creates a slippy map, there are examples on the OpenLayers website http://www.openlayers.org/
