jQuery and Google Maps json response

Question

I am having troubles getting geo location info from google maps api

the code is pretty straight forward

$.ajax({
    type: \"GET\",
    cache: false,         


        

Answer 1

if it helps somebody... I gave up and I completely change the logic itself and now it works as expected:

first I appended google maps js into the body

var script = document.createElement( 'script' );
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=get_longlat';
$("body").append( script );

as you can see I specified the callback function get_longlat...

so I defined this function and used google's geocode object

function get_longlat(address){

    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

    if(!address){
        var p = US.get("location_postal");
        var c = US.get("location_city");
        var a = US.get("location_address");
        var address = a + ', ' + p + ' ' + c + ', Slovenia';
    }

    if (geocoder) {
        geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
            if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                US.set("location_lat", results[0].geometry.location.lat(), 60);
                US.set("location_lon", results[0].geometry.location.lng(), 60);

                $('#location_setter').dialog('close');
            } 
            else {
                console.log('No results found: ' + status);
            }
        });
    }
}

The US variables inside is our own namespace for USER SETTINGS

hope it helps somebody
