Help with printing to screen

[stewc]

Hi

 

I have the code below which geocodes a postcode and returns a lat a long value. Its standard code from Google maps. I just want to print these values to a screen.  I tried document.write(value) but this produces nothing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
var localSearch = new GlocalSearch();
function usePointFromPostcode(postcode)
{
	localSearch.setSearchCompleteCallback(null, 
		function()
		{
			if (localSearch.results[0])
			{		
				var resultLat = localSearch.results[0].lat;
				var resultLng = localSearch.results[0].lng;
			}


			document.write(resultLat+resultLng); 


			//alert("Latitude: " + resultLat + "\nLongitude: " + resultLng + " q");				
		});	
	localSearch.execute(postcode + ", UK");
}
</script>

 

TIA Stew

document.write() should work, but it's not the method I'd choose. I prefer to edit the 'innerHTML' of a div or span. What happens when you remove the comment for the alert()?

The document.write doesnt produce anything. 

 

The alert part works ok if I remove the comment thats why I dont understand why the document.write doesnt work. 

 

How can I print via 'innerHTML'?

I posted a link showing how to use innerHTML. I'm not exactly sure why the document.write() method isn't working.. I can't remember the last time I used it to be fair, so I don't know a great deal about it. From the sounds of it though browsers have trouble with it when it's used within XHTML pages, take a look here. I'd say forget about document.write() and learn how to use other methods, namely innerHTML.

OK, thanks.  I will give it a go.
