Geolocation does not work [Spoiler]

1

Hi! Im trying to get the latitude and the longitude from the navigator with the code in the challenge but it does not work:

 if (navigator.geolocation) {
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
    $("#data").html("latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>longitude: " + position.coords.longitude);
  });
}

That exact code works fine for me in the challenge.

Can you post all of your code from the challenge? I suspect you haven’t put it between the script tags properly.

    <script>
      // Only change code below this line.
      
      if (navigator.geolocation) {
      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
        $("#data").html("latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>longitude: " + position.coords.longitude);
      });
    }
  
  // Only change code above this line.
</script>
<div id = "data">
  <h4>You are here:</h4>
  
</div>

That still passes the tests for me.

Try clearing the browser cache and resubmitting that solution.

I think that is a problem in Opera. The code works fine in Chrome. :disappointed:

According to http://caniuse.com/#search=geolocation Opera allows navigator.geolocation from secure (https) servers. Free Code Camp is https, so I can’t imagine what the problem would be.

For opera, you can verify your setting here:

Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Network

Is “Allow websites to request my physical location” checked?

8

yes, the option is checked!

9

Maybe check the geolocation exceptions to ensure you didn’t accidentally block FCC from using the geolocation:

Checked that too:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Does your address bar have the blue geolocation icon and the green padlock?

12

Also, what version of Opera are you using?

13

The blue icon appears.

41.0.2353.46 - Opera is actualized.

14

When you press Ctrl + Shift + Iand select console, does it report any errors?

15

Error shown:

Get https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

16

Interesting…

With a completely clean install of Opera, I don’t get that error when I run the code.

Is it possible that you have some plug-ins installed that block Javascript? Like NoScript or something like that?

17

I had Adblock but i deactivated.

18

Sorry… the error was previous.:grin:

19

Haha! No worries.

You said before that you have the blue icon - do you have the green padlock icon as well?

20

yes! … the alert is shown for you in opera??
