Struggling on Getting a User's location

Hi all,

I'm working on a project where I need to get a user's location, and then return the weather for their location using openweathermap's api. I'm just really stuck on where to begin gathering a user's location from, and if there's a right or wrong way to do it. Here is a helpful link I found: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp but I'm not sure how to utilize it. If anyone has any helpful suggestions on using this api with this code, (or other code), I would really appreciate it! Getting a little frustrated.... :) Thanks,

~ Gabriel
