Can you explain in a bit more detail what you mean by "my OpenStreetMap"? If a generic website, try one of https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=html+geolocation&ia=web .

Sorry about not being clear. Here is my Page. <html><body>

var lonLat = new OpenLayers.LonLat( mylon,mylat )
      .transform(
        new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"), // transform from WGS 1984
        map.getProjectionObject() // to Spherical Mercator Projection
      );
var zoom=17;
var markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Markers" );
map.addLayer(markers);
markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(lonLat));
map.setCenter (lonLat, zoom);

</script> </body></html>

I would lite to add under the zoom the icon for geo-location, center the map to this location and retrieve the information in my javascript. I have seen some script, but I didn't work for me. Perhars not used corretly.
