HTMLGeolocationElement: HTMLGeolocationElement() constructor
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The HTMLGeolocationElement() constructor creates a new HTMLGeolocationElement object instance.
Syntax
new HTMLGeolocationElement()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A new HTMLGeolocationElement object instance, if used internally by the browser.
Developers cannot use the HTMLGeolocationElement() constructor directly to create a new HTMLGeolocationElement instance: attempting to do so results in an "illegal constructor" error.
Examples
Creating a new HTMLGeolocationElement instance programmatically
To programmatically create a new HTMLGeolocationElement instance, instead of trying to use the constructor directly, you would create a new <geolocation> element instance using Document.createElement():
const geo = document.createElement("geolocation");
You can then use it by appending it to the DOM:
document.body.append(geo);
