The easiest way to create HTML code indicating that the acronym JSF stands for JavaServer Faces is to simply include the acronym in an HTML <a> tag and an abbreviation tag (not an acronym tag):
This is the recommended code for both HTML 4 browsers and HTML 5 browsers. Some browsers, most notably IE, do not activate help when the title attribute is coded on the <abbr> tag, but they do work as expected for titles on the <a> tag. The <abbr> tag inherits its title attribute from the parent <a> tag.
If you are creating HTML code for the definition of JavaServer Faces, the meaning of the acronym JSF, then include a <dfn> definition tag around the <abbr> abbreviation tag and follow the entire HTML code for the hypertext link with the definition of the term:
<p>A <a href="http://www.Acronyms.net/terms/j/JavaServer-Faces/" title="JavaServer Faces" onclick="if (confirm('JSF stands for JavaServer Faces')) return false;"> <dfn><abbr title="JavaServer Faces">JSF</abbr></a> is ...(definition of JavaServer Faces)....</p>
The <dfn> tag gets the term being defined from the title attribute of the <abbr> tag. The result should look like this (hovering your mouse over the JSF acronym shows the expanded meaning of the acronym):
A
JSF
is ...(definition of "JavaServer Faces")....
If you are creating HTML code that simply expands the acronym then indicate that it is the JSF acronymn which is being defined using an HTML <dfn> tag with a title attribute around the <abbr> tag and follow the HTML for the hypertext link with the acronym definition:
<p>When we use the acronym <a href="http://www.Acronyms.net/terms/j/JavaServer-Faces/" title="JavaServer Faces" onclick="if (confirm('JSF stands for JavaServer Faces')) return false;"> <dfn title="JSF"><abbr title="JavaServer Faces">JSF</abbr></dfn></a> it is the abbreviation for JavaServer Faces.</p>
The result should look like this (hovering your mouse over the JSF acronym shows the definition):
When we use the acronym
JSF
it is the abbreviation for JavaServer Faces.
Acronym Vocabulary URI Declaration
For the remaining examples, the Acronym Vocabulary namespace URI needs to be declared for use with element tag names and attribute values. For an HTML web page, the beginning of the file should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html [ <!ENTITY at "http://Acronyms.net/terms/"> <!ENTITY av "http://Acronyms.net/vocabulary/">]><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:av="&av;"> <head> <style type="text/css"> .hide { display: none } </style> ...
This only needs to be done once per document file.
