Here is my code: JQUERY

$(document).ready(function() { var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather'; var data = { q : "Portland,OR", units : "metric" }; function showWeather(weatherReport){ $('#temperature').text(weatherReport.main.temp); } function showWeather(weatherReport){ $('#temperature').text(weatherReport.main.temp); } $.getJSON(weatherAPI,data,showWeather); });
