This has been asked, and answered, more than once here. You'll find one 
solution, by Alexei Boulbitch and Heike Gramberg, at:

Just go to Google and search for "mathematica locator on curve". The 
first hit should be in groups.google.com, and what you want should be in 
the first thread there.

That thread originally appeared in MathGroup. But when I go to 
forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup and search for "locator on curve", I didn't 
find this thread on the first several pages of results.

Evidently Google's search reads my mind better than Wolfram Research's 
search does!
