Question

Can’t seem to get this javascript redirect to work?
Suggestions?

Should I maybe do it with a meta refresh and how?

// If we have a successful location update
function onGeoSuccess(event)
{
    document.getElementById("Latitude").value =  event.coords.latitude; 
    document.getElementById("Longitude").value = event.coords.longitude;
    document.getElementById("location").href = "track.cfm?track=s&Lat=" + event.coords.latitude + "&Long=" + event.coords.longitude;

var redirectUrl = "track.cfm?track=s&Lat=" + event.coords.latitude + "&Long=" + event.coords.longitude; 

}

// If something has gone wrong with the geolocation request
function onGeoError(event)
{
    alert("Error code " + event.code + ". " + event.message);
}

function redirect() 
     { 
    window.location = redirectUrl; 
     } 
    setTimeout(redirect,15000);

The problem is the scope of redirectUrl variable. You declared redirectUrl as local for onGeoSuccess function, so it will be visible only inside of it. For workaround ,you can put all this stuff:

function redirect() 
{ 
    window.location = redirectUrl; 
} 
setTimeout(redirect,15000);

inside of onGeoSuccess function, or make redirectUrl global, by removing var before redirectUrl:

     redirectUrl = "track.cfm?track=s&Lat="+...
//^-----no 'var'
