怎么用ajax定时获取数据,我如何使用ajax请求获取数据

$("#city").autocomplete({

source: function(request, response) {

$.ajax({

url: "http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON",

dataType: "jsonp",

data: {

featureClass: "P",

style: "full",

maxRows: 12,

name_startsWith: request.term

},

success: function(data) {

response($.map(data.geonames, function(item) {

return {

label: item.name + (item.adminName1 ? ", " + item.adminName1 : "") + ", " + item.countryName,

value: item.name

}

}))

}

})

},

minLength: 2,

select: function(event, ui) {

log(ui.item ? ("Selected: " + ui.item.label) : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value);

},

open: function() {

$(this).removeClass("ui-corner-all").addClass("ui-corner-top");

},

close: function() {

$(this).removeClass("ui-corner-top").addClass("ui-corner-all");

}

});
