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?

  • 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).
