If you are building a Firefox Addon using the Extension Builder, and it bombs out in the middle (for any reason) make sure you delete the “build” directory. Otherwise you will constantly hit an exception that keeps future builds from building correctly.
Well, as a geo nerd – I was excited when I heard about this. I was tempted to get it into all my websites that have any mapping capability at all but recently, I have been disappointed.
I tried installing this on a webpage that I can hit from my iPhone and from Firefox 3.5 easily (and also from many locations) to see it in action. What did I find?
location = undefined
Seems like no matter where I am, all I get is an undefined location. Bummer. Because I am in a heavily populated metropolitan area, where geolocating should be easy – but alas – if it doesn’t work for me and my testing, how will I ever get a client to buy into it. I’ll be traveling over the next few weeks and hopefully will see if this thing can work. For now – I am not convinced.
