Hi,
This seems like it's probably some kind of client side coding issue that is
causing things not to execute properly. self.request.get('place') is the
proper syntax in this case, so that is not the issue.
FWIW, this is they way I construct my javascript + HTML forms when needing
to do something similar, calling form.submit() from the javascript function
(it uses the maps geocoder, but the principle should be the same):
<script>
function populateInfo(form) {
if (geocoder) {
var loc = geocoder.getLatLng(
form.address.value,
function(point) {
if(!point){
alert('Bad Address')
return;
} else {
document.getElementById("lat").value = point.lat();
document.getElementById("lon").value = point.lng();
form.submit();
}
}
);
}
}
</script>
<form action="/add_biz" method="POST">
Business Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br />
Business Address: <input type="text" name="address"><br />
Description: <input type="text" name="description">
Tag: <input type="text" name="tags">
<input type="hidden" id="lat" name="lat">
<input type="hidden" id="lon" name="lon">
<input type="button" value="Add Business"
onclick="populateInfo(this.form)">
</form>
