Is Geocoder Still Working For Javascript?

Question

Hi I would like to know if Geocoder is still working? It does not seems to reactive when I initialize new google.maps.geocoder(); My purpose here is to obtain the location address from the latitude and longitude.

Alert A and B is working. Stops at Alert C.

$('#btn').click(function initialize() {
            alert("A");
            var loc = {};
            alert("B");
            var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
            alert("C");
            if(google.loader.ClientLocation) {
                alert("D");
                loc.lat = google.loader.ClientLocation.latitude;
                loc.lng = google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude;

                var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(loc.lat, loc.lng);
                geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) {
                    if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                        alert(results[0]['formatted_address']);
                    };
                });
            }
        });

Use `alert(google.loader.ClientLocation);` after `alert("C");` and say what u got. explain y u using `google.loader.ClientLocation` and do u have lat and lng before calling this function? — Lakshmana Kumar, May 27 '13 at 06:43
Return null. Why is this so? I have included the jsapis.js file. — Bryan Learn, May 27 '13 at 06:48

Try this to get address from lat, lng. Click on marker to show address. Its alternate way to do ur job.
