Hi Everyone

I am having trouble finding a simple example that demonstrates how to query the msn or yahoo weather api using ajax or jquery.

I want to understand how I can pass a query to these api's and then retrieve string information back which I can then present to the user on a html page.

I have been searching the internet for two days and still have not find a simple example on how to query an api and then retrieve data back.

The reason I want to understand this is I am in the process of building a windows sidebar gadget, so any information on this subject as well would be really appreciated.

If you know how the Windows weather sidebar gadget works, please provide links and information.
