Javascript rookie warning
I'm utilizing this demo on a new project: http://jquery-ui-map.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/jquery-google-maps-mobile.html#directions_map
All is working well, except i need to make a functionality adjustment.
Currently, the app accesses Geolocation right away as the page loads. I need to find a way to change that, so the geolocation function triggers when clicking a link that I'll have say "Use my current location"
I've tried quite a few times, but I admit my rookie javascript syntax is problem.
I'll paste a clean local-ready version of the map (just need to link modernizer). If anyone can help me trigger the geolocation function via a link, instead of automatically on pageload, you'd be a lifesaver.
