Geocoding- converting addresses to Latitude and longitudes

[AJ]

I'm trying to javascript for my first time using the Google Maps API
program. I was wondering if anybody could explain how to convert an
address into latitude and longitude in my javascript. using the
getLatLng to convert an address into Glatlng. I don't know what this
means

AJ, see here for the Google Maps API documentation on the matter:
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/#Geocoding_Examples

If that doesn't clarify things I suggest posting a message in the
"Google-Maps-API" group. This is a general javascript group and they
can better help you there.
