Getting user location through iphone safari, and then redirect to site

[ahdrage]

Hi!
I want to make a website where I first get the user location.
If the user location is within a certain area, like 50 meters within a certain coordinate.
It should then redirect to a specific webpage.
How would I do this?

I have read through the documentation here:
http://developer.apple.com/safari/li...WebContent.pdf
But it doesn't say how I can make a decision based on where the user is currently located.

Thanks for your help!

There is a geolocation API in HTML5 (see http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html). Good luck

Thanks.
Been reading through that article now.
Would it work if it used:

inteface Coordinates {
readonly attribute double latitude;
readonly attribute double longitude;

Could I then convert the latitude and longitude to a number and then make something like:

if latitude is over 50 and if longitude is under 80
then redirect to www.apple.com?


Thanks for your help

Did you find this already? http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/appleapplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/GettingGeographicalLocations/GettingGeographicalLocations.html

Yep. My problem is that i'm not sure how I can redirect the users to another url when I have got the gps coords.
