title |
The title attribute may be coded with the expanded meaning of the acronym or abbreviation in the content of the <abbr> tag. However, browsers tend to ignore the title attribute of the <abbr> tag. To have the browser pop up tool tips with the meaning of acronyms or abbreviations, wrap the <abbr> tags inside <a> tags with title attributes instead, as described by Acronyms .net. Line breaks in the title attribute are preserved. Therefore, the title should not be split across multiple lines. |
