Yes. This is how you mark up all acronyms or abbreviations that appear on the page the first time. :) <acronym> is one that you read as it's written (like NATO) and <abbr> is one that is spelled out (like Y.M.C.A or EU). How it works depends on the browser or user agent. At least in Mozilla, when you hover the text with your mouse, a tooltip is displayed that shows the "title" text. It's semantic markup, and it's required for this so-called "standards-compliant" coding. I'm hoping to see all this in the upcoming style guide! That'll probably shed some more light. > Thanks - John > > Regards, Miikka Leskinen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
