Get client's location through Google Map API

I would like to get the client location dynamically through Google Maps API.

Below is my code:

/*Call external api dynamically*/
var script = document.createElement("script");
  script.src = "http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=" + api_key + "&callback=loadm";
  script.type = "text/javascript";
  document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);

/*function */
function loadm() {
 google.load("maps", "3", {other_params:"sensor=false", "callback" : defmap});
}

function defmap() {

 if(google.loader.ClientLocation){
    alert(google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude+" "+google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude};
}

I have tried it, but null values are returned. Is there an error in the code?

It seems to me you got some syntax error in your alert line of code. Try to close all brackets, this line worked for me:

if (google.loader.ClientLocation) {
    alert(google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude+" "+google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude);
};
