Given that you may not arrive at the content where the content start, you might not even know it /has/ been expanded somewhere. So either the author need to expand the abbreviation/acronym at every single instance, or he/she uses something like the abbr and acronym elements. I wish more would. Personally I use the same method of getting the expanded form as Barry does, and I'd be rather sad if a long document had expanded forms absolutely everywhere in the text. It gets tedious after a while. We do need to keep in mind the non-linear nature of web "pages" - and also that UAs which have onboard dictionaries rarely have them for more than English, and very rarely for everything. -- - Tina Holmboe Developer's Archive Greytower Technologies http://www.dev-archive.net http://www.greytower.netReceived on Tuesday, 8 January 2008 17:57:12 GMT
