I can't get location on chrome - javascript

Question

I'm coding a web app which is using by maps. I want to find visitor's location. It is working on firefox but not working on chrome. Chrome says "it is blocked that track your location by this page." How can i fix it for chrome?

        function onPositionUpdate(position)
        {
            var lat = position.coords.latitude;
            var lng = position.coords.longitude;
            alert("Current position: " + lat + " " + lng);
        }

        if(navigator.geolocation)
            navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onPositionUpdate);
        else
            alert("navigator.geolocation is not available");

and now I try this:

function get_location() {

        if (geo_position_js.init()) {
            geo_position_js.getCurrentPosition(show_map, handle_error);
        }

    }
    function show_map(position) {
        var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
        var longitude = position.coords.longitude;

        alert("lat:" + latitude + " long:" + longitude);


    }
    function handle_error(err) {
        alert(err.code);
        if (err.code == 1) {
            // user said no!
        }
    }

    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(show_map, handle_error);
    } else {
        error('not supported');
    }

When I run this with chrome I get "javascript alert 1" error. It is working on firefox.

Edit: I solve this problem by using html5 geolocation http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp

Check exception list. – Chưa biết Sep 14 '14 at 15:52
nothing in it. I think when I open html file a bar will appear below the adress bar and it will ask "do you want to share loation" but it doesn't like that. – Sep 14 '14 at 16:26

Some features only be accessible on "secure origins" (such as HTTPS) where the full ancestor chain is also secure.
