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?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
