How to send a result of ( my location) to an email? ( check the code in my codes called get location)

Question

I have a code that gets your location longitude and latitude and i want the results to be sent to an email upon pressing the button

Answer 1

You have an unexpected case in your script: it fails silently if user have denied geolocation, or in case of 'geolocation' object is supported by user brower but another error occurs in the process of getting location :P

To fix it, you need to add a call back function for handling geolocation errors, modifying the call by adding this handler as second parameter...
Corrected/improved script:

var x = document.getElementById("demo");

function getLocation() {
console.log('test '+x);
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition,geoError);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}

function geoError(error) {
x.innerHTML = 'ERROR('+error.code+'): '+error.message;
}

function showPosition(position) {
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
}

There is no way to send an email from browser js directly. You will have to use AJAX to send it to the server, where it can be processed, or create a link with mailto: and prefilled content.

Answer 4

this link will open email app (outlook etc) and will ask for sender, subject etc.
Btw you can specify all these things in this tag itself. let me check if I can find any good link for you.

you can specify subject, cc, bcc, content etc but I don't think you can specify sender id here. sender id you can enter when email app open.
better option is to use php or any other server side language.
