I was hoping to find some simple html for doing mouseover tool tip
type text, that would work in all browers.
Someone suggested the HTML tags<abbr> and<acronym> but I tried them and
they won't work in seamonkey when I upload them. They worked fine in
Coffeecup HTML editor, but won't work in SM.
Suggestions?
Try: title="xxxx" or alt="xxxx"
Try: title="Our summer cottage by the lake" alt="cottage picture"
The alt attribute is for replacing the image when images are disabled,
or in speech browsers. The title attribute produces the tooltip (except
in certain Microsoft browsers that do not follow standards). Title can
be used with nearly all HTML elements.
I'm confused. Could you please show me the code? ( I'm not a big expert in
this. )
For example, say I want to put the acronym NASA, underlined ( not a real link
going anywhere ), and when they mouse over it, it pops text that says
"National Aeronautics and Space Administration"?
Some browsers don't recognize both, as I mentioned above, but these are
the accepted ways.
<acronym title="National Aeronautics and Space
Administration">NASA</acronym>
or
<abbr title="National Aeronautics and Space Administration">NASA</abbr>
You'll find examples in the first paragraph of this page of mine.

I have the following in my style sheet:
abbr, acronym, cite {
border-bottom: 1px dotted #006400;
cursor: help;
}
