In the following form . . . http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tpcolson/Stream_ID_Form.pdf
users enter lat/long in decimal degrees. We're tossing around the idea of having these coordinates parsed into a string attached to a HTTP submit button (?) that will open up a zoomed in view on the Google Maps page, or our own GE server, via the users web browser. The contents of the string is no problem, the java script is a stumper, though. Any ideas? Examples?

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.7396, … output=kml

or

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.7396, … &hl=en

Or....a choice of either at run time?

Or...really crazy, outputting XML and reading the xml with our web server as this example

Use a LiveCycle Desinger form or in AcroForms sumbit as and XFDF file. Both will create an XML file.
