Geocoding is asynchronous. It sends a request off to the server, continuing execution of your code (not waiting), when the response comes back containing the data, the callback routine runs (the "some stuff"), but by then your submit has already been executed. You need to put any code that depends on the returned data _inside_ the callback routine. -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
