Adding Value into an Input Field

Question

I am working on an iPhone Web App using HTML & CSS. I have currently got the JavaScript/HTML5 Geolocation picking up my current location and showing me it on a Google Map using Lat & Long values. I also want to add these Lat & Long Values into the 'address' text field on the page so I can submit the details.

Here is the link: http://m.belfi.co.uk/form.html

When I click 'find me' I would like the lat and long to be added to the 'address' input field. Have no idea how to do this though :(

You're looking for the val method:

$('input[name=Address]').val(function(index, oldVal) {
    return oldVal + ": " + lat + ", " + lon;
});

@McCrum: You'll need to place it inside your showMap function, below the lines where you set the values of lat and lon. Exactly where you have the call to alert will work nicely.
