Hey Rossko...thnx for the prompt reply again...I do realize its king of an odd requirement :)...and I've decided to do away with the suggesting addresses in a given area.
from the link u provided, I found another link: http://esa.ilmari.googlepages.com/temp_geosuggest.htm i would really like to implement something of that sort (without the map). in the textbox (on the page), i entered '07020, 155, riv' and got the answer i was looking for....will try to implement this...thnx...will post again if there is any queries. really appreciate all the patience u guys have shown.
