If your stuck for 2 days maybe a fresh v3 start would be a good thing, this snipped does a similair job for me...

          function GetLocation(address) {
          var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
          geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
              if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                  ParseLocation(results[0].geometry.location);

              }
              else
                alert('error: ' + status);

          });
      }

  }

  function ParseLocation(location) {

      var lat = location.lat().toString().substr(0, 12);
      var lng = location.lng().toString().substr(0, 12);

      //use $.get to save the lat lng in the database
      $.get('MatchLatLang.ashx?action=setlatlong&lat=' + lat + '&lng=' + lng,
            function (data) {
                // fill textboss (feedback purposes only) 
                //with the found and saved lat lng values
                $('#tbxlat').val(lat);
                $('#tbxlng').val(lng);
                $('#spnstatus').text(data);


            });
    }
