I am working on this example from Google maps api here
The map initializes according to the coordinates that are hard coded.My problem is the "addressInput" is not recognized and map just continues to display the same view . I think there is a problem with geocoder expression.
Here is my HTML file

Can someone point me into where to look into that. TIA
