Examples

Using `promptdismiss` to respond to user permission dismissal

In our Embedded map demo (source code), we use a promptdismiss event handler to respond to the user dismissing the <geolocation> permission prompt:

js

geo.addEventListener("promptdismiss", notifyUserRetrySelection);

In the notifyUserRetrySelection() function, we ask the user to press the button again and allow location.

js

function notifyUserRetrySelection() {
  statusElem.textContent =
    'Please press the "Use location" button again and allow location for this site.';
}

See the main HTMLGeolocationElement page for a full walkthrough of this example.
