Answer 1

You could use the following function to extract any address component:

function extractFromAdress(components, type){
    for (var i=0; i

To extract the postal code you call:

extractFromAdress(results[0].address_components, "postal_code");

But you could also get other interesting info like:

extractFromAdress(results[0].address_components, "route");
extractFromAdress(results[0].address_components, "locality");
extractFromAdress(results[0].address_components, "country");

etc...
