Just starting to get into HTML 5 and an testing out geo location...liking it so far. I am hitting a bit of a speed bump though...when I try to get my geo location, chrome automatically blocks the page from getting my location. This does not happen at other sites such as the site below: http://html5demos.com/geo The scripts I'm using: <script type="text/javascript" JavaScript" SRC="geo.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" JavaScript" SRC="Utility.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" JavaScript" SRC="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" JavaScript" SRC="modernizr.js"></script> function get_location() { if (geo_position_js.init()) { geo_position_js.getCurrentPosition(show_map, handle_error); } } function show_map(position) { var latitude = position.coords.latitude; var longitude = position.coords.longitude; alert("lat:" + latitude + " long:" + longitude); } function handle_error(err) { alert(err.code); if (err.code == 1) { // user said no! } } if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(show_map, handle_error); } else { error('not supported'); } I am testing this out from a local directory on my machine, so there isn't really a "domain" like "http://whatever.com/mytestpage.html". Is this why I am not getting prompted? If so, is it possible to force the browswer to request permission to get the user's geo location and is it possible in my scenario?
