To make cross-domain AJAX calls like this, you should use JSONP with a callback. However, Google doesn't provide a JSONP interface for Autocomplete.

You might be able to use this Autocomplete class instead, though it doesn't seem possible to style the dropdown.

EDIT There may be a way to do this. Check out the geo-autocomplete jQuery Plugin. It has two demos. I haven't given this a proper look over yet however.
