Have a small javascript piece of code which calls navigator.geolocation.
I have an if statement, which works, to show the latitude and longitude if the user the user allows the call. However, the else section is not running.
If I run the code below I get prompted by the browser to allow; if I allow it then coordinates are shown. However, if I hit block instead nothing happens even though there is an else section.
<body>
<br> <p id="ChangeSring">Test</p>
<script>
var x = document.getElementById("ChangeSring");
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(SavePosition);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
document.cookie = 'location=false;path=/form_handler';
}
function SavePosition(position) {
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
document.cookie = 'location=true;path=/form_handler';
document.cookie = 'latitude='+ position.coords.latitude +';path=/form_handler';
document.cookie = 'longitude='+ position.coords.longitude +';path=/form_handler';
}
</script>
<form action="/form_handler" _lpchecked="1">
Enter value:
<input type="text" name="SomeVar"><br>
<input type="submit" value="search">
</form>
</body>

You cannot use else to check for permissions.
The navigator method getCurrentPosition takes a success and error callbacks.
The error callback will be called if permission is denied.
if (navigator.geolocation) { // this checks if navigator is supported at all
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(console.log, () => {
console.log('Permission denied')
});
} else {
console.log('Geolocation is not supported by this browser.');
