Google Maps v3 API - Auto Complete (address)

Question

Attempting to get auto complete working for my google maps application.

Here is the current code:

HTML

<input type="text" class="clearText" id="address" name="address" value="" size=20 autocomplete="off"> 

Javascript

    var input = document.getElementById('address');     var options = {         componentRestrictions: {country: 'au'}     };     var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, options); 

Unfortunately nothing happens when typing an address.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm actually receiving the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'autocomplete' of undefined

Not sure why, the code is placed in my map initialize function.

Edit 2: Fixed. Answer below.

Answer 1

Your fix worked for me too. I'm using the Geocomplete jQuery Plug-in http://ubilabs.github.com/geocomplete/ and the instructions on their home page says to use this

<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&amp;libraries=places"></script> 

But it didn't work for me and was getting the same error.

See documentation for Google Maps API here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places?hl=en-EN#loading_the_library
