I am having an issue with the geocoder that I am hoping someone can help me with.

On my website http://stage.specialsagent.com if you enter Chicago and submit it will try to geo on "Chicago, IL" notice the space, however if you geo on "Chicago,IL" (no space) it says that google found zero results. (If you enter "Chicago, IL", it strips the space between the comma and the I and fails.)

If however you change the case to "Chicago,il" it works fine again. The reverse happens with "Austin, TX" no space succeeds where a space fails (entering Austin on the web site will try to submit with the space and fail.)

Just using the geocoder from a console will also show the error. So its not the website code. The following was run in Chrome console on the maps demo page (http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/draggable-directions/draggable-directions.html)

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

undefined

geocoder.geocode({ 'address': 'Austin, TX', region: 'us' }, function(l,s){console.log(s); console.log(l);});

undefined

ZERO_RESULTS

geocoder.geocode({ 'address': 'Austin,TX', region: 'us' }, function(l,s){console.log(s); console.log(l);});
