Hi All, I want to easily be able to take a postcode from a form field, pass it to the next page and then the pages converts in Javascript the postcode to coordinates. I am new to all this to am probably just being silly. I have tried geocoder.getLatLng but it doesn't return coordinates. Can anyone help please? (the code I am using is below and yes I know it is probably really silly!) I am trying to get the coordinates in to variable g, so I can just use an alert, and then once I have that, I know how to get that value and can work on it... Oh and I'm using my API key so request won't work on another domain but also on: http://www.hdcatering.co.uk/postcode_enter.cfm. Thanks :) Zena x
