Summary:

geolocation API getCurrentPosition does not return latitude and longitude.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/geolocation.html
2. Click Test it
3. Allow the popup to access geolocation details.

Expected Results:

The latitude and longitude are displayed.

Actual Results:

At step 4, I would expect the latitude and longitude to be displayed.

Regression:

N/a

Notes:

Delving a little deeper, if you call the API passing in an errorCallback function, that does get invoked with an error code of POSITION_UNAVAILABLE. I think that the position should be available, since the test works in the same network environment, same laptop (Windows 7 SP1) using IE9.0.8112.16421, Chrome 20.0.1132.47 and Firefox 16.0.1.
