I am facing an issue in which I am unable to get the location coordinates. I am using javascript and trying to get the coordinates using geolocation. By the ways, I am able to get the location using the same script on localhost but unable to get the coordinates when I upload the script on server and then trying to get the location coordinates. The code is as follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>test coordinates</title>
<link rel="stylesheet"

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#btnSubmit").click(function() {
initGeolocation();
});
});
function initGeolocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
// Call getCurrentPosition with success and failure callbacks
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, fail);
} else {
alert("Sorry, your browser does not support geolocation services.");
}
}
function success(position) {
alert("longitude is = "+position.coords.longitude);
alert("latitude is = "+position.coords.latitude);
}
function fail() {
alert("Sorry, Could not obtain location.");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="btnSubmit">Submit
Task</button>
</body>
</html>
Any help and suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
getCurrentPosition()
