Hi, Thanks a lot for the response. I tried filtering the points to geocode and its working well. I am able to capture the "state" from the address tag of the xml (output of geocoder getLocation() ). I need to pass these values as a jsp to the server side. But since the function is asynchronous, am facing problem. We tried using url based geocoding, incorporating AJAX, but it failed due to the cross-domain issue. Can you please help?
