I am trying to display latitude and longitude using Modnizer geolocation api.
In my java script code when i try to execute my web application with the code.

JavaScript

if (Modernizr.geolocation ) {
    // Find location... fill in.
    //alert(" inside Modernizer");
    // Not coming here if i use if(Modernizr.geolocation)

     navigator.geolocation
    .getCurrentPosition(location_found, location_error);

}

Nothing happens when i press the set location button. but when i try to execute the web application without

JavaScript

if (Modernizr.geolocation )
{
}

I get the latitude and longitude displayed on the web page. y the control is not passing from the if (Modernizr.geolocation ) statement .

I'd rather use HTML5 [^] feature of geolocation.

JavaScript

function getLocation() {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
    } else {
        x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
    }
}
function showPosition(position) {
    alert("Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + 
    ", Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude); 
}

See https://modernizr.com/docs[^]

Quote:
Geolocation API geolocation
Detects support for the Geolocation API for users to provide their location to web applications.

If the browser does not support it or if you choose block when asked by the browser it will return false.
