IE9 simply doesn't seem to have any support for geo location for javascript. 
Have you seen that working in other places?

Granted Microsoft's database of wi-fi networks is not nearly as good as 
Google's or Apple's. For me they are several miles off whereas google/apple are 
spot on.

hi, i don't have windows and IE9 myself, but their example code looks exactly 
like what geo.js does. Does their example work for you, but not the geo.js 
library? Did you spot a difference? 

Thank you,
Stan

yes their example works fine in IE but when I run your sample.html it returns 
"Functionality not available". Am not very good at javascript..

It works fine for me on IE9 for the pc but not in IE9 for Windows Phone 7.
Running the sample.html returns "Functionality not available"

You need to add the same doctype to your HTML. Try this beginning snippet of 
HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
