Error while doing Geocoding using Google Maps API

Question

I am getting the following error:

Uncaught Error: Invalid value for property <address>:

Following is the code that does the geocoding:

function codeAddress(zipcode){
var address = zipcode;
alert("Address is: " +address);
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
    map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
        map: map, 
        position: results[0].geometry.location
    });
  } else {
    alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
  }
});
}

The function takes a parameter 'zipcode' from the following code:

<input type="button" value="Geocode" onclick="codeAddress(<%=resultset.getString(3)%>)">

Please help me on this.

@amit resultset.getString(3) means that i am getting the value of zipcode from a SQL Database. — Animesh Porwal

Make sure that the rendered onclick="codeAddress(<%=resultset.getString(3)%>)" actually has a string being passed to codeAddress(). You may have to add single quotes inside of that: onclick="codeAddress('<%=resultset.getString(3)%>')"

It is getting passed. That is what i am checking in the third line of function codeAddress.

I don't mean "is it getting passed" but "is it a string?". You might be getting this error because address is a number, not a javascript string.

thanks you very much. I added single quotes and it is working as i wanted. And yeah, thank you for giving me above suggestion. Learned new thing.
