I see. In that case, I would use something like this in your second
script (i.e., not the jsapi one):
function popHiddenField(){
if(!google.loader||!google.loader.ClientLocation||!
google.loader.ClientLocation.address||!
google.loader.ClientLocation.address.city){
return;
}
var addy = google.loader.ClientLocation.address
document.getElementById('id_of_hidden_input').value = addy.city+',
'+addy.region;
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(popHiddenField);
