HTML for MIB Acronym

when MIB means Management Information Base

New! Now updated with the inheritance rules for the title attribute in HTML 5

The easiest way to create HTML code indicating that the acronym MIB stands for Management Information Base is to simply include the acronym in an HTML <a> tag and an abbreviation tag (not an acronym tag):


                     <a href="http://www.Acronyms.net/terms/m/Management-Information-Base/" title="Management Information Base"
                     

                        onclick="if (confirm('MIB stands for Management Information Base')) return false;"
                     

                     >
                     

                        <abbr>MIB</abbr>
                     

                     </a>

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 Management Information Base, the meaning of the acronym MIB, 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/m/Management-Information-Base/" title="Management Information Base"
                     

                        onclick="if (confirm('MIB stands for Management Information Base')) return false;"
                     

                     >
                     

                        <dfn><abbr title="Management Information Base">MIB</abbr>
                     

                     </a> is ...(definition of Management Information Base)....</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 MIB acronym shows the expanded meaning of the acronym):

A MIB is ...(definition of "Management Information Base")....

If you are creating HTML code that simply expands the acronym then indicate that it is the MIB 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/m/Management-Information-Base/" title="Management Information Base"
                     

                        onclick="if (confirm('MIB stands for Management Information Base')) return false;"
                     

                     >
                     

                        <dfn title="MIB"><abbr title="Management Information Base">MIB</abbr></dfn>
                     

                     </a> it is the abbreviation for Management Information Base.</p>

The result should look like this (hovering your mouse over the MIB acronym shows the definition):

When we use the acronym MIB it is the abbreviation for Management Information Base.

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.
