You can use the HTML5 GeoLocation API in browsers that support it.

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

function success(position) {
  alert(position.coords.latitude + ', ' + position.coords.longitude);
}

function error(msg) {
  alert('error: ' + msg);
}
