Problem with Google places Autocomplete

Hi,
I have a web form in which I have a textbox attached to a google places autocomplete. This works fine. What I want to do is save the value that the autocomplete stores in the textbox to a BD, and later on be able to show the form filled with the values stored in the BD.

try {
acOrigem = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete($("#txtAdressORI")[0], {});
google.maps.event.addListener(acOrigem, 'place_changed', function () { CreateMap(); });

function CreateMap() {
    var placeORI = acOrigem.getPlace();


This works fine. The issue is that when I do:

document.getElementById("txtAdressORI").value = "Lisboa,Portugal";
google.maps.event.trigger(acOrigem, 'place_changed');

The function is triggered correctly but the place is not recognized(i.e. getPlace() returns Null).


Does anyone have any Idea on how to achieve this?

Thanks
