I know I know...
Google has all the documentation etc.... and the code etc... (all that
is just novice frustration....lol)
I've been working via the google maps API tutorial, I've got my map
working with encoded polylines and it is all wonderful.
But I was only able to do it by taking the examples and overlaying my
information into them... I know a bit about HTML, but Java, and
calling in functions, I know nothing about.
The last thing I want to add to my map is a search box (geocoding
search box) so that one can find out which sky train or subway station
is closest to their destination.
I dont need any of the fancy things you can do with the output of the
geocoding...
I just would like a search box that puts the marker on the map...
that's it.
I have tried to paste into my code the geocoding codes, but I just
dont know enough to place it properly...or if I have a bracket out of
place or what.
This is the code I "think" is what I need:
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
function showAddress(address) {
geocoder.getLatLng(
address,
function(point) {
if (!point) {
alert(address + " not found");
} else {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address);
Here is a link to a page where I have my map loaded (I have not
inserted the code as I dont have a clue where to put it):

Here is the link to my XML. file where I pull the polyline data etc...
if you need to review it:

If one of you gurus would be kind enough to tell me or show me or
anything where to put the code for the geocodeing (if I have even got
the right code).
Thanks so much !!
