current location needs page refresh in Jquery mobile

Image
By User



i have created an application in jquery and google maps javascript v3 , in which i am displaying a user's current location after a button click.





Now the problem is some times i got pretty fine current location and sometimes at the same place its showing my current location miles away but again when i refresh the page i again got the pretty fine current location.





does anyone know how to get rid off pressing refresh button again so a user doesn't has to press the refresh on their mobile browser ??





Note: I am testing this application in android phone which has a default browser.





Page #1 has a button and Page #2 has a map but the Page #1 and Page #2 are combined in a single jQuery HTML page.

    Why don't you try adding some logic using the accuracy parameter off the geolocation object (position.coords.accuracy). For example,

    //if accuracy is to low
    if (position.coords.accuracy =< 500) {
    //redo the geolocation
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
    //update marker
    marker.setPosition(new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude)})
    }
    , displayError);
    }

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
