First take the Khan quiz to make sure you know basic javascript. In this assignment you will implement a jquery ajax call to get the current weather.
You should put your html file in html/lab2/weather.html . You can rename the github clone to this location.
The weather section should do the following:
-
Allow the user to type characters into a form. With each keystroke, query a REST service that will return a list of cities in utah that have those characters as a prefix. This will provide a hint to the user as to what legal values can be. Put these options into a list. These hints may be helpful.
-
When the user selects the submit button, take the entry from the form and put it into the CITY box on the page. These hints may be helpful.
-
The submit button will also query the Open Weather REST Service to get the current weather for that city. These hints may be helpful.
-
You must also add a section where a user can type a word into an input field, with a button that will query the StackExchange REST service for questions with the word in the topic. For example, if the user had entered "javascript" in the form, then you would create the following REST request
https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/search?order=desc&sort=activity&intitle=javascript&site=stackoverflow
- Grading is based on the following table (subject to change):
| Behavior | Approximate Points |
|---|---|
| You have the basic layout and parts of the application | 25 |
| Your application correctly suggests cities based on the input value | 20 |
| A User can search for an inputed city's weather | 20 |
| A User can search Stack Exchange for an inputed word | 25 |
| Your page looks really good. This is subjective, so wow us. | 10 |
