HTML 5: How do you find the user's location or position?
The HTML Geolocation API is used to get the geographical position of a user.
Since this could possibly compromise user's privacy, the position is not available unless the user approves it.
The getCurrentPosition() method is used to get the user's position.
<html> <head> <script> function getLocation() { if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition); } else { alert ("Geolocation is not supported by this browser."); } } function showPosition(position) { alert( "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "\nLongitude: " + position.coords.longitude); } </script> </head> <body onload = 'getLocation()'></body> </html>
