Is there a way to display an image where clicked with JavaScript?

Question

I have a square grid in browser as an image. I want when I click on a single square, it to display me an image in the middle of this square. Is there a way to do this with JavaScript?

function mouseClick(e) {
  let mouseX, mouseY;

  if (e.offsetX) {
    mouseX = e.offsetX;
    mouseY = e.offsetY;
  } else if (e.layerX) {
    mouseX = e.layerX;
    mouseY = e.layerY;
  }

  let gridX = Math.floor(mouseX / 75.591);
  let gridY = Math.floor(mouseY / 75.591);
  console.log(gridY, gridX);
};

<img class="smile">

If you just need a grid, then try this:

[...document.querySelectorAll(".grid")].forEach((el,i) => {
  el.setAttribute("data-pos", i);
  el.addEventListener("click",function() {
    let pos = this.getAttribute("data-pos");
    this.innerText = "😄";
    console.log(pos%8,pos%10)
  })
});

.grid { margin:2px }

<div id="container">
<span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><span class="grid">⬜</span><br/>

</div>

Alternatively use an image map - the positioning is not precise in my script, that you can fix yourself

document.querySelector("[name=image-map]").addEventListener("click",function(e) {
   e.preventDefault();
   let sq = e.target;
   console.log(sq.title);
   if (!sq.getAttribute("data-smile")) {
     let d = document.createElement("div");
     d.innerText = "😄";
     d.className = "smile";
     // let coords = sq.getAttribute("coords").split(",");
     // d.style.top = coords[1]+"px";
     // d.style.left = coords[3]+"px";
     d.style.left = e.clientX + "px";
     d.style.top = e.clientY + "px";
     sq.setAttribute("data-smile","yes");
     document.getElementById("container").appendChild(d); 
   }  
})

.smile { font-size: xx-small; position:absolute  }

    <area target="" alt="10,8" title="10,8" href="" coords="144,111,156,125" shape="rect">
</map>

Try

function mouseClick(e) {
  let mouseX, mouseY;

  if (e.offsetX) {
    mouseX = e.offsetX;
    mouseY = e.offsetY;
  } else if (e.layerX) {
    mouseX = e.layerX;
    mouseY = e.layerY;
  }

  let gridX = (mouseX-10)/15|0;
  let gridY = (mouseY-8)/15|0;
  
  smile.style.left=`${15+gridX*15}px`;
  smile.style.top=`${13+gridY*15}px`;
};

.smile { 
  position: absolute ;
  width: 16px;
  height: 16px;
