Question

I am using the following with an address picker.

HTML

<form>
<input id="searchByLoc" type='checkbox' >
<input id="searchQuery" type='text' >
<input type="submit' value="search">
</form>

JQuery:

$('#searchByLoc:checkbox ').live('change', function(){
    if($(this).is(':checked')){
        var addresspicker=$(this).addresspicker();//alert('checked');
    } else {
         //I want to un initialize the addresspicker() on the input field
         var addresspicker=die($(this).addresspicker());//alert('un-checked');
    }
});

I am having some trouble with the ELSE part above. If the check box is unchecked, how can I stop the initialization so that no location is suggested?
