I cant add latitude and longitude to an input in html

Question

Hi guys I try to add the latitude and longitude from my current location to an input.

Do you have any idea of what to do? this is my code

<input type="text" name="demo" id="demo" value="<?php echo $demo ;?>" />
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").value=latitude;
function getLocation()
  {
  if (navigator.geolocation)
    {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
    }
    else{
        alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
    }
  }
function showPosition(position)
  {   
 latitude.innerHTML= position.coords.latitude; 
 longitude.innerHTML=position.coords.longitude;
  }

</script>

@Teemu: with respect to return value the parameter is a function that assigns stuff. — Chris, Mar 21 '14 at 17:07
what is latitude? at the beginning of your script you are setting the input value to `latitude` which leads me to believe it should be text of some kind but later on in the `showPosition` function you seem to be setting its inner HTML suggesting it is a DOM element. Perhaps you should be more precise about what you think this should be and indeed more precise about what problem you are having exactly. — Chris, Mar 21 '14 at 17:09

Additionally when this seems to be a duplicate of the very first item in the "Related" questions list on the side it suggests you haven't done much to actually research what you are doing yourself. — Chris, Mar 21 '14 at 17:11

Probably I did not understand, but if your intention is to add the coordinates to the text field try this

<body>
<script>
function getLocation(){
  if (navigator.geolocation){
     navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
    }else{
       alert("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
    }
  }
 getLocation()
function showPosition(position) {
      var str="Longitude:"+ position.coords.longitude+"Latitude:"+ position.coords.latitude
      document.getElementById("demo").value=str
  }
</script>
<input type="text" name="demo" id="demo" value="" />
</body>
