    <p>Either I am an idiot or this was an egregious oversight on the part of the Google Maps team.</p> <p>I am attempting to trigger a places search request on a button click event in conjunction with the standard enter keypress event (which is currently working fine). I have combed through the documentation related to the <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-searchbox">Google Places search box</a> and have found no sutiable solution.</p> <p>Because of confidentiality reasons I am using the example from the demo. </p> <pre><code>function initialize() { var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), { mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }); var defaultBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds( new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8902, 151.1759), new google.maps.LatLng(-33.8474, 151.2631)); map.fitBounds(defaultBounds); var input = /** @type {HTMLInputElement} */(document.getElementById('target')); var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input); var markers = []; document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', function() { var places = searchBox.getPlaces(); // places -&gt; undefined // The assumption is that I could just call getPlaces on searchBox // but get nothing in 'places' // Beyond that it doesn't even make a call to the Google Places API // Currently the only way to perform the search is via pressing enter // which isn't terribly obvious for the user. }, false) google.maps.event.addListener(searchBox, 'places_changed', function() { var places = searchBox.getPlaces(); for (var i = 0, marker; marker = markers[i]; i++) { marker.setMap(null); } markers = []; var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds() for (var i = 0, place; place = places[i]; i++) { var image = { url: place.icon, size: new google.maps.Size(71, 71), origin: new google.maps.Point(0, 0), anchor: new google.maps.Point(17, 34), scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(25, 25) }; var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map, icon: image, title: place.name, position: place.geometry.location }); markers.push(marker); bounds.extend(place.geometry.location); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
