copied!<p>You're trying to use JSONP here.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>JSONP</strong></p> <p>If the URL includes the string "callback=?" (or similar, as defined by the server-side API), the request > is treated as JSONP instead. See the discussion of the jsonp data type in $.ajax() for more details.</p> <p>Important: As of jQuery 1.4, if the JSON file contains a syntax error, the request will usually fail silently. </p> </blockquote> <p>See: <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/">http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/</a></p> <p>But the URL you're calling returns <strong>plain</strong> JSON, so the parsing fails with a syntax error and <code>getJSON</code> fails silently.</p> <p>Now when you try to change the geocode URL to use JSONP, you get a <code>404</code> error since Google has removed support for JSONP quite a while ago:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1872">http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1872</a> </li> <li><a href="http://blog.mikecouturier.com/2009/11/jsonp-and-google-maps-api-geocoder-not.html">http://blog.mikecouturier.com/2009/11/jsonp-and-google-maps-api-geocoder-not.html</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>In short:</strong><br> You cannot simply use the geocode api from Browser JavaScript anymore, you'll have to add a proxy script on your server.</p> <p>And even if the request would work, your code still has a bug in it:</p> <p><code>json.results</code> is an <strong>array</strong> of results, so it has no <code>geometry</code> property.</p> <p>You have to access the first element of the array in order to get to the actual object that has the <code>geometry</code> property:</p> <pre><code>json.results[9].geometry.location.lng </code></pre>
