Learning AJAX - Weather app

Hi, I used the OpenWeatherMap API and typeahead.js( jquery plugin ) to build a weather app. I focused on the functionality (AJAX) not on the design of the page. I would be grateful for any feedback.

Not bad, man.

I would add the autocomplete=off attribute to your input html; my browser's autofill feature kind of gets in the way of your auto-complete plugin.

Also, it'd be cool if the autocomplete showed me not just the city's name but also the state's name.

Actually, no, you know what'd be even cooler? If you integrated the Google Maps API and the Data.gov API so that you can, not only show me the weather in my area, but also some "fun facts" too.

And if you're looking for even more of a challenge, you can also try integrating the (HTML5 Geolocation API)[http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp] so that you know where I am without me telling you.

Hope that gives you a little inspiration, good luck!
