  <p>I've been looking at geolocation in Html 5. I'm using Chrome (12) and am accessing the html file using a path like this: file:///C:/_Development/Examples/Html5/boilerplate.html</p>
  
  <p>I'm getting the little geolocation icon in the search bar that says that the location has been blocked from tracking your location.</p>
  
  <p>Note that I don't have any exceptions setup at all...</p>
  
  <p>Can this be done or do I need to host the file on a web server? If it can't be done, why can't it be done?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
