This is a Javascript question, not a Maps question.
document.getElementById("address").value returns a single string, say
"-27.8391,133.5938" -- that's just a collection of characters.
GLatLng() requires two floating-point numbers.
So you need to split the string at the comma into two separate
portions and then convert each portion to a float.
Look up split and parseFloat. One tutorial site is

-- there are others.
