            geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

            var input = "41.021355,-96.020508";

            var lat = parseFloat(latlngStr[0]);

            var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);

            geocoder.geocode({
                'latLng': latlng

                    alert("Geocoder failed due to: " + status);

            }); * * document.write(variablejs); * * //writes undefined variable (not working)
        </script>
    </head>

    <body></body>

</html>

The section (//document.write(variablejs); Not working), won’t write the variable “variablejs”, but when I use the method (//window.location.href = “http://localhost/test2.php?ad=”+ variablejs; Working), it will write the url and forward the page passing the variable as a parameter. What I want to do is print that variable in the body of the same HTML.
I tried to initialize first the variable then write into the Body but It looks like that section is not accessible like a global variable or something like that. Please help.

    Once the document is loaded, you can’t use document.write without overwriting everything. You will need to manipulate the DOM, e.g. document.body.innerText=variablejs;. But I’d recommend

    var d = document.createElement("div");
d.appendChild(document.createTextNode(variablejs));
document.body.appendChild(d);
