A look at theHTML element and how it works

Author’s photo and the title “A look at the geolocation HTML element and how it works” above a code snippet with a <geolocation> element and a fallback button.

Daniel Schwarz explains the Chrome 144 element that replaces the Geolocation API with markup: autolocate reuses a previously granted permission, watch tracks position continuously, and onlocation handles the result. The browser manages timeout and maximumAge. A :granted pseudo-class styles the button, isValid and invalidReason report blockers, and strict styling rules prevent clickjacking.
