Hey Bryan, - start tag "<srcipt>" instead of "<script>" :) - the onload-event doesn't work with paragraph-elements. - no function for "showPosition" esdete <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body onload="getLocation()"> <p id="Position">Position</p> <script> var x=document.getElementById("Position"); function getLocation() { if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition); } else { x.innerHTML="Geolocation is not supported by this browser."; } } function showPosition(position) { x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude + "<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude; } </script> </body> </html>

Oh okay, it doesn't work on unsecured HTTP: "As of Chrome 50, the Geolocation API will only work on secure contexts such as HTTPS. If your site is hosted on an non-secure origin (such as HTTP) the requests to get the users location will no longer function."
