Google Geocoding

@wbportNov 23.2010 — #Hi there,

I know too little of JavaScript to get the Google Maps API working.

I hope someone can help me out!

My goal is to display an address.

In the example on google, you can input it through a form:

(url)http://code.google.com/apis/maps/doc...ng-simple.html(/url)[/QUOTE]
I could not reach your example. Try (url=http://www etc, full name.html)What you want to show(/url). Quote this message and look at the bottom of it for an example.

I would like the map to show the location+marker when I open the page, not after clicking a submit button.

However, I only want an address in my html. I want the API to convert it in a LatLng format.

Hopefully, someone can take the time to look at it.

It's all in the source code of the page mentioned above, I believe.

There is a google forum to discuss these types of questions, but I never got that deep. This is some code to reference a working page:

[CODE]function doMap() {
 var newlink;
 if (lat1.NaN || lon1.NaN || lat2.NaN || lon2.NaN) {
 alert ("Run distance function first");
 return 1; }
 newlink = "http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong-map.html?lat1=" + lat1 + "&long1=" + lon1 + "&lat2="
 + lat2 + "&long2=" + lon2 ;
 self.location.href = newlink; 
 }
 [/CODE]

It is from my gps page.

@jorikkoppertauthorNov 23.2010 — #OK, a retry for the Simple Geocoding example.

If you look at the source, you see two functions:

initialize() & codeAddress()

In the first, you have to enter the LatLng value, but in the second function that value is retrieved by [CODE]map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);[/CODE]
That's what I make of it. Any way of getting that value on the page load and using it to generate the map?
