Circle - setting radius after it is drawn not working for me

[RdotLee]

Hi -

  I can draw a circle on the map no problems.     What I want to do is set the radius to the value entered into an input field.   

  This all sounds pretty simple.

   function distanceChanged() {

        var val = $("#someinputfield").val();

        console.log(val);

        circle.set('radius', val);

        console.log(circle.get('radius'));

    }

 That does not change the circles radius.  The circle just disappears.   But in the console I get the value that was entered into the input field for the circles new radius.    The value entered is always in meters.

  Now if I hard code the new radius value it works!    What am I missing? 

 function distanceChanged() {

        circle.set('radius', 90000);

    }

 Why does coding an integer value work, but the value entered into the input field does not?

 I'm a totally newb to google maps.   Sorry if this is easy  :)

 thanks

Have you tried:

circle.set('radius', parseInt(val, 10) );

Thanks barryhunter I will give that a try.   I'm guessing that will work.   I assumed wrongly that such a conversion would be handled by the api.

Thanks

That did the trick.   Thx again for your help.
