Extract Coordinates Of Google Map Point To Google Sheets In HTML

First question So i'm getting started with HTML/JS and i'm having trouble extracting the coordinates of a marker placed by the user and putting them into a spreadsheet. As it stand

Solution 1:

in console there was error Uncaught TypeError: Illegal invocation after hitting submit. So add cache: false,processData: false, in ajax function

 function postContactToGoogle() {
  var frmdata = $('#formRequest').serialize();
  $.ajax({
    url: "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSccwx1JnSaptL1JlXy-Jmr2S9NjkisKRsmj0pt_4E6bATYVdA/formResponse",
    data: frmdata,
    type: "POST",
    dataType: "xml",
    cache: false,
    processData: false,
    statusCode: {
      0: function() {
        alert('success')
          //window.location.replace("CoordsfromPoint.html");
      },
      200: function() {
        //window.location.replace("CoordsfromPoint.html");
      }
    }
  });
}

Plunker

Check this and comment still there any error

Update :

I updated the form with form id and updated the input fields with the name matching with the form input field name. And for ajax post i am serializing the form input value to get posted as data.

form

<form id="formRequest">
      Latitude:
      <br/>
      <input type="text" name="entry.149945546" id="latitude" placeholder="latitude" />
      <br/> Longitude:
      <br/>
      <input type="text" name="entry.760486044" id="longitude" maxlength="10" placeholder="longitude" />
      <br/> Description:
      <br/>
      <textarea name="entry.573971734" id="description" rows="4" cols="40" placeholder="Write your query here..."></textarea>
      <br/>
      <br/>
      <center>
        <input type="button" name="Submit" id="Submit" onclick="postContactToGoogle()" value="Submit" />
        <input type="reset" value="Reset" />
      </center>
    </form>

Note if you want to have all form input you can update the from with the input fields matching the google form
