The easiest way to create HTML code indicating that the acronym WAD stands for Working As Designed 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/w/Working-As-Designed/" title="Working As Designed" onclick="if (confirm('WAD stands for Working As Designed')) return false;"> <abbr>WAD</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 Working As Designed, the meaning of the acronym WAD, 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/w/Working-As-Designed/" title="Working As Designed" onclick="if (confirm('WAD stands for Working As Designed')) return false;"> <dfn><abbr title="Working As Designed">WAD</abbr></a> is ...(definition of Working As Designed)....</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 WAD acronym shows the expanded meaning of the acronym):
A
WAD
is ...(definition of "Working As Designed")....
If you are creating HTML code that simply expands the acronym then indicate that it is the WAD 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/w/Working-As-Designed/" title="Working As Designed" onclick="if (confirm('WAD stands for Working As Designed')) return false;"> <dfn title="WAD"><abbr title="Working As Designed">WAD</abbr></dfn></a> it is the abbreviation for Working As Designed.</p>
The result should look like this (hovering your mouse over the WAD acronym shows the definition):
When we use the acronym
WAD
it is the abbreviation for Working As Designed.
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.
