How to update and generate markers on a Leaflet map?

Question

I've just discovered Leaflet and will be using that instead of Google Maps. I have an API where I want map markers to be generated from and updated (or else, I'll have multiple markers). I have a fiddle over here http://goo.gl/rI5YH which I've been working on for a while. Problem is that I can't seem to fix a function that grabs JSON from an API, and then updates the map and puts markers on it. I have a bunch of code so please see my attached fiddle: http://goo.gl/rI5YH .

Answer 1

Here is the answer, due to cross domain restrictions I couldn't make Ajax Calls,so I instantiated your json in the code, but thats pretty trivial any ways.

Here is the modified JS

init(); //Calls the "grab my locayion" funcyion
function init() {
    var map = L.map('map', {
        center: [51.505, -0.09],
        zoom: 13
    })

    L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/1fa9625d371549a298938509a2eac256/997/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png').addTo(map);
