HTML for UTC Acronym

when UTC means Universal Coordinated Time

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 UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time 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/u/Universal-Coordinated-Time/" title="Universal Coordinated Time"
                        

                           onclick="if (confirm('UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time')) return false;"
                        

                        >
                        

                           <abbr>UTC</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 Universal Coordinated Time, the meaning of the acronym UTC, 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/u/Universal-Coordinated-Time/" title="Universal Coordinated Time"
                        

                           onclick="if (confirm('UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time')) return false;"
                        

                        >
                        

                           <dfn><abbr title="Universal Coordinated Time">UTC</abbr>
                        

                        </a> is ...(definition of Universal Coordinated Time)....</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 UTC acronym shows the expanded meaning of the acronym):

A UTC is ...(definition of "Universal Coordinated Time")....

If you are creating HTML code that simply expands the acronym then indicate that it is the UTC 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/u/Universal-Coordinated-Time/" title="Universal Coordinated Time"
                        

                           onclick="if (confirm('UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time')) return false;"
                        

                        >
                        

                           <dfn title="UTC"><abbr title="Universal Coordinated Time">UTC</abbr></dfn>
                        

                        </a> it is the abbreviation for Universal Coordinated Time.</p>

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

When we use the acronym UTC it is the abbreviation for Universal Coordinated Time.

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.
