hello all, Im hoping that somebody can help me out on what i feel is an easy answer but I just cant get it to work out.

Im trying to trap the geolocation lat and long and place it into the google maps api

so far i have

var myOptions = { zoom:7, trips:1, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions); directionsDisplay.setMap(map);

var request = { origin: 'newyork' destination: 'deleware', travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING };

this works fine for what i want. how ever I want to be able to change Origin to the users lat long using the following script from google.maps.api.

their code is: if(navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { initialLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude); var placeMarker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: initialLocation, map: map, }); map.setCenter(initialLocation); }, function() { handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag); }); } else { // Browser doesn't support Geolocation handleNoGeolocation(); }

function handleNoGeolocation() { initialLocation = newyork; map.setCenter(initialLocation); }

I want to pull out the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { initialLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude);

and allocate it two 2 varibles, myLat and myLong. I then want to be able to change my orignal script from var request = { origin: 'newyork' destination: 'deleware', travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING };

to

var request = { origin: myLat,myLong destination: 'deleware', travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING };

Does this make sense..?

Im currently having a pig with it and as im not a JS developer its what i think should be a simple bit of coding that im losing the battle with..

any thoughts..?
