Actually, I figured it out -- I thought that this icon was pulling the
weather data from weather.com, which runs off a fairly large database that
lists every city name, including mine's. I wasn't getting any response from
this applet after typing in my city's name. But after entering "new jersey"
instead, I got a pop up with a bunch of city name in NJ, to pick from.
