    Hey Randy,
    First off, I'd avoid Image on Load. It'll break at some point in the future.

    That said, if it's writing to the console successfully, you should be able to add this:

    $("#_fid_7").val(resp.latitude)​

    And that should add it to the record that's on the screen.

Hi Randy. As @Sam Jones mentioned, any sort of unsupported syntax in Quick Base is not durable and likely to break in the short term. This is only more likely as we increase our efforts to modernize our UI. The supported model for something like this would either be Pipelines or having a button that launches a JavaScript code page to do your queries and then uses the API to write the data back to Quick Base. Similarly, leveraging our internal libraries might cause stability issues for you because we update them regularly. You can read more about best practices here.​

Thank you both very much.  I will work with the code to see if I can get it both ways, just in case the IOL does go away.  Can't thank you both enough!
