Hi

My colleague is developing a site based on Ruby on Rails, i am design partner.

However we need something to happen.

Someone enters a postcode into a form field, and it gives a button to allow that postcode to be displayed on Google Maps.

Meeting [ Date with Sophie ]
Postcode [ TR1 1SZ ]
[Submit]

----

Thank you for submitting your entry.

Meeting - Date with Sophie
Postcode - TR1 1SZ
Click here for map of location.

The format is http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=TR1+1SZ

Its just getting it to insert the postcode into the address.

Any ideas?

I know this is not helpful, byt that would be easy enough in PHP
