Description David Storey 2006-07-25 01:44:43 PDT 
Steps:

Enter a city in the second city search text field, and click go (the one in the flash file below the blue header)

Expected:
See results

Actual:
Nothing

Reason:
In Opera this doesn't work as allowScriptAccess="samedomain" is used on the flash file, with the domain being images.weather.com and the results page being weather.com.  I'd guess that this is also the reason why it doesn't work on Safari.  It works on FF as browser sniffing doesn't send this attribute to them.

Fix:
Remove the attribute for all browsers.

The site was changed. I can't see any go button in flash file. All other two go buttons work without problem. So the bug is FIXED.
