Hi
I have a html page with javascript in it that assigns a set of coordinates to javascript variables. The question I have is how can I then send these variables to a Perl CGI script using a submit on a html form.
An example of some of the code below:
var map;
var geocoder = null;
var addressMarker;
var originpoint = null;
....................
function showAddress(address) {
if (geocoder) {
geocoder.getLatLng(address,
function(point1) {
if (!point1) {
alert(address + " not found");
} else {
if (addressMarker) {
map.removeOverlay(addressMarker);
}
addressMarker = new GMarker(point1);
map.setCenter(point1, 15);
map.addOverlay(addressMarker);
originpoint = point1;
alert("origin is now: "+originpoint+" destination is now
+: "+destinationpoint);
}
}
);
}
}
<body onload="load()" onunload="GUnload()">
<form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return
+ false">
<p>
Origin:<input type="text" size="50" id="addressInput" name="address"
+value="London, UK" />
<input type="submit" value="Show Origin" />
</p>
</form>
Now I want to be able to store the variable "originpoint" and using another form to submit it to the perl CGI script. Any ideas?
