I'm stuck... Googled this to death...
Can't seem to get what I want it to do...
I'm not best with Javascript either...
I want to get GPS Location from device - and basically drop Lat and Long into form fields...
Then I can do whatever after inserting the location etc...
This code below works for a pop up alert location... Which is what I started with...
I want to be able to click button and it just populates the long/lat into the form fields...
Any help is appreciated...
Thx...
<html>
<head>
script type="text/javascript">
function getLocationConstant()
{
if(navigator.geolocation)
{
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onGeoSuccess,onGeoFormLat,onGeoFormLong,onGeoError);
} else {
alert("Your browser or device doesn't support Geolocation");
}
}
// If we have a successful location update
function onGeoSuccess(event)
{
alert(event.coords.latitude + ', ' + event.coords.longitude);
}
function onGeoFormLat(event)
{
var myVal;
myVal = document.getElementById(event.coords.latitude).value;
}
function onGeoFormLong(event)
{
var myVal;
myVal = document.getElementById(event.coords.longitude).value;
}
// If something has gone wrong with the geolocation request
function onGeoError(event)
{
alert("Error code " + event.code + ". " + event.message);
}
// Called when we want to stop getting location updates
function stopGetLocation(event)
{
navigator.geolocation.clearWatch(watchID);
}

I thought u could use javascript with coldfusion etc...
Perhaps we are own worst enemies at times... Worrying about only ColdFusion...
A friend of mine helped me out with this... And solution is below...
Works great... And can be used to push GeoLocation Data for use in ColdFusion...

I might be missing something, but what's this got to do with CF? It looks like pure client-side stuff to me? Would it be better posted on a JS forum?

Well of course... one can use Flash with CF as well, but one would be daft to ask a Flash question on a CF forum.
If you want an answer to a JS question, the best place to ask it would be on a JS forum. That's what I meant.

That's a bit of a daft thing to say. Just because we happen to use a bunch of different technologies in the course of arriving at a solution doesn't mean a forum for one of the technologies is the best approach to getting solutions for all of them.
