title: using jquery.getJson with Google's GeoCoding HTTP Service
body: <p>Google offers a wonderful REST interface for geocoding and reverse geocoding an address. My API key is valid, and if I enter the request directly into the browser address it works great. However, the following jquery fails terrible and I'm failing to see why. Hoping you could help me out here.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.getJSON("http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q="+ address+"&amp;key="+apiKey+"&amp;sensor=false&amp;output=json",
    function(data, textStatus){
       console.log(data);
    });
  </code></pre>
