Latitude and Longitude in a form

[alx2bgx]

Hi !
How to get the lat/long of a user and embed it in a hiden field of a form ???

1. include a javascript in a custom code inside your page.
   This one I figured :

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
            const lat = position.coords.latitude;
            const lon = position.coords.longitude;

            // Set the latitude and longitude to hidden fields
            document.getElementById('hiddenLatField').value = lat;
            document.getElementById('hiddenLonField').value = lon;
        }, function(error) {
            console.error('Error obtaining location:', error);
        });
    } else {
        console.error('Geolocation is not supported by this browser.');
    }
});
</script>

2. But then… how to pass thoses two data (lat/long) into a hidden form in Softr ??? (I use a button to open a modal with a form)
