title: Placing Marker and Getting Lon/Lat Values at Google Maps
body: <p>I'm trying to write a simple web application where people will have the chance to place a marker on Google Maps (anywhere they want) and write a short text message (not on the map, but a simple textarea on a form). I will then save lan/lon values and the text message into a database but I don't know how to place a marker and get its lan/lon values. I would like to use jQuery with placing a marker and then getting its coordinates.</p>
  
  <p>I saw a few examples of this but I couldn't manage to write the JavaScript part. Is there a jQuery plugin that does this or is it possible to write this with jQuery?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I used search before writing this question but couldn't find the answer on StackOverflow. After sending the question I was doing a search on Google and I came up with this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1726049/how-do-you-click-on-a-map-and-have-latitude-and-longitude-fields-in-a-form-popula">How do you click on a map and have latitude and longitude fields in a form populated?</a>. I think this is the exact answer to what I was looking for.</p>
