    copied!<p>I am trying to retrieve information from the Placefinder API. My code takes information from a text box and sends it to yahoo on a button click. </p> <pre><code> function codeAddress(){ var address = document.getElementById("address").value; var RequestUrl = "http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?q="+address+"&amp;flags=J&amp;callback=ws_results&amp;output=json"; JSONObject = new XMLHttpRequest(); JSONObject.open( "GET", RequestUrl, false ); JSONObject.send( null ); return JSONObject; document.getElementByID("jlatitude").innerHTML=JSONObject.latitude; alert(document.write("jlatitude")); } </code></pre> <p>Firebug tells me that the data is returned, yet I cannot display what I want in a troubleshooting popup. The placefinder returns this when I request the geocoding for Maryland.</p> <pre><code>{"ResultSet":{"version":"1.0","Error":0,"ErrorMessage":"No error","Locale":"us_US","Quality":10,"Found":2,"Results":[{"quality":49,"latitude":"39.466626","longitude":"-93.709069","offsetlat":"39.466626","offsetlon":"-93.709069","radius":700,"name":"","line1":"","line2":"Roads, MO","line3":"","line4":"United States","house":"","street":"","xstreet":"","unittype":"","unit":"","postal":"","neighborhood":"Roads","city":"Norborne","county":"Carroll County","state":"Missouri","country":"United States","countrycode":"US","statecode":"MO","countycode":"","uzip":"64668","hash":"","woeid":2482523,"woetype":7},{"quality":49,"latitude":"39.080130","longitude":"-82.537394","offsetlat":"39.080130","offsetlon":"-82.537394","radius":700,"name":"","line1":"","line2":"Roads, OH","line3":"","line4":"United States","house":"","street":"","xstreet":"","unittype":"","unit":"","postal":"","neighborhood":"Roads","city":"Wellston","county":"Jackson County","state":"Ohio","country":"United States","countrycode":"US","statecode":"OH","countycode":"","uzip":"45692","hash":"","woeid":2482522,"woetype":7}]}} </code></pre> <p>My alert box does not appear, but the data is stored. </p> <p>Thanks</p>
