User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I hover over the weather icons on this page, IE shows a small text giving
some more detailed weather info. I am not an HTML expert, but I think I traced
this down to these lines.....
<img src='gui/images/10.gif' ALT ='Nedbør:&nbsp;10mm
Skydekke:&nbsp;100%' border = '0' widht = '25' height = '25'>
....where the information I am missing is the "10mm" (precipitation) and "100%"
(cloud coverage).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to specified webpage and hover over the weather icons at middle of page
(typically suns, clouds).

Actual Results:  
When hovering over the weather icons at middle of page (typically suns, clouds),
With IE you will see a yellow box with some additional weather info, with
firefox, you don't get this info.
I believe firefox does not display this alternative text as it is supposed to.


If you allow inclusion of a small screenshot (.jpg) in this bug report form, it
may be easier to explain the problem.

Attachment: IE screenshot of expected behaviour

Screenshot (from IE) shows the yellow text box I am missing from firefox. Box
is produced by hovering mouse over nearby (associated) rainy cloud.
