<acronym> tag

Maybe I'm the last person to know about this tag, but when I ran accrossed it today I thought it was pretty cool.

Example:
<ACRONYM title="World Wide Web">WWW</ACRONYM>

WWW

Now if you hold your mouse over the WWW you will see a tooltip "World Wide Web", pretty nifty.  Documentation is at: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_acronym.asp

  • I had a little CSS in there so that acronyms show up with a little dotted line. I'm actually thinking about writing a script that parses the dynamic content sections of our website looking for acronyms and does this automatically. Not sure if anyone would care, or if it will be worth the effort for my company's site though

  • Actually for the abbreviation WWW you should use the abbr tag, not acronym, just to be technically correct.
