The Osm.org Routing Demo does exactly this by sending a JSONP request to Nominatim. You can grab a tarball and look in yours.js.

If Nominatim returns more than one result, the first one is used. It has a number of drawbacks. For example, when searching for a large city, the first result may be a border that is quite far from the actual city center.

Your problem is called geocoding and there are various tools and APIs which can help you with that. You could use Nominatim, I guess, or see e.g. Yahoo! PlaceFinder.
