I was following https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp where they have taught how to print the location of the user on a web page.
I tried to modify the code so that it prints the location of the user in a modal instead of web page. For this
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
should be coming in the modal-body.
I am trying this but the locations are not getting printed. Specifically, I am having trouble printing the value of the variable positin.coords.latitude
and position.coords.longitude
in the modal body.
Any suggestions?
Attached is my code
