jmr3460 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hello all, I do not do very much Javascript at all. I am basically trying to create a var and insert it either into a hidden form field or a input text field. I am working on a script that gets the GPS location of my Blackberry from my Blackberry. It will be a way for me to log in and out of jobs during the day. I have research the blackberry site and been able to develop a script that get my coordinates and send them to an alert window. This script works great. I have attempted to do this by changing the 'window.alert' to 'document.write' and make a var (I did not get something wright their or for some reason this did not work. I think that this issue is that it takes several seconds to retrieve the coordinates). I was hoping to be pointed to a way that I could insert those alert values into the form fields when I click the alert ok button or maybe when I click the ok button that creates the variables. Can anyone help me with this? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function latlng(){ if(blackberry.location.GPSSupported){ document.write("Your device supports GPS lacating"); blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate(window.alert("Latitude: " + blackberry.location.latitude + " Longitude: " + blackberry.location.longitude)); blackberry.location.refreshLocation(); } else{ document.write("Your device does not support GPS"); } } --> </script> <head> <title>Blackberry GPS Logger</title> </head> <body onLoad="latlng()"> </body> </html> This is what I have so far.

jmr3460 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have now found a confirm box. Problem now is that when I click Ok nothing happens. Here is the new code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function latlng(){ if(blackberry.location.GPSSupported){ document.write("Your device supports GPS lacating"); var long = blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate(window.confirm("Latitude: " + blackberry.location.latitude + " Longitude: " + blackberry.location.longitude)); blackberry.location.refreshLocation(); if (long){ window.location = "http://www.abc.org" } else{ alert("Nothing happened") } } else{ document.write("Your device does not support GPS"); } } --> </script> <head> <title>GPS Testing</title> </head> <body onLoad="latlng();"> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr3460 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Is the syntax right with this statement: var long = blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate(window.confirm('GPS coordinates good')); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr3460 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 How about this one? var lat = blackberry.location.latitude; Or this one? var lng = blackberry.location.longitude; I can't get either one of these to write on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
