How to get longitude and latitude from bound?

Question

The below code will return the lat & lon values, when i click any where on the map. The result is lon=8931183.8958044,lat=1456094.8596215

map.events.register('click', map, handleMapClick);
function handleMapClick(e)
{
var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromViewPortPx(e.xy);
alert(lonlat);
}

how to get the lat & lon exactly when clicking on the map what is the extact format for lat and lon

Is this the correct lat & lon? because I see that the Lat & Lon comes in 2 digit (0-90) before can some one help me in converting the values?

I guess you have read this http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bounding_box and noticed that it uses degrees and fractions in decimal format NOT degrees Minutes and Seconds so 45.5 deg= 45,30,00 DMS. If that does not help what lat lon were you expecting to get back from your code. Could you set it up so you know the result beforehand as a test?

var fromProjection = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326");  
var toProjection   = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913");
var mapbounds = map.getExtent(); // to getting the bounds
var bound = mapbounds.transform(toProjection, fromProjection ); // converting the bounds to left, right, bottom & top values.
