					<td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><p>The <span class="literal">acronym</span> element provides an encapsulation and
enumeration mechanism for acronyms that appear in the body text. For
example, consider a web page that includes a discussion of
international trade issues. At one point in the document, the acronym
GATT is used for General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. A spelling
checker, language translation program, or speech synthesizer might
choke on this acronym; a search engine would not include the word
"tariffs" in its relevancy rating
calculation. But by turning the GATT text into an
<span class="literal">acronym</span> element (and assigning a
<span class="literal">title</span> attribute to it), you can provide a
full-text equivalent that a search engine (if so equipped) can count;
a text-to-speech program would read aloud the full meaning of the
acronym. Like many elements introduced in HTML 4.0, this one is
intended to assist browser technologies that may not yet be
implemented but could find their way into products of the future.
</p><p>A related element, <span class="literal">abbr</span>, offers the same services
for words that are abbreviations. Both elements are part of a larger
group of what the HTML 4 recommendation calls <span class="emphasis">phrase
elements</span>.

							<td valign="top" colspan="2" class="description"><p>An advisory description of the element. For HTML elements that
		produce visible content on the page, IE 4 and later and Netscape 6
		render the content of the <span class="literal">title</span> attribute as a
		tooltip when the cursor rests on the element for a moment. For
		example, the table-related <span class="literal">col</span> element does not
		display content, so its <span class="literal">title</span> attribute is merely
		advisory. To generate tooltips in tables, assign
		<span class="literal">title</span> attributes to elements such as
		<span class="literal">table</span>, <span class="literal">tr</span>,
		<span class="literal">th</span>, or <span class="literal">td</span>.
		</p><p>The font and color properties of the tooltip are governed by the
		browser, and are not modifiable under script control. In IE/Windows,
		the tooltip is the standard small, light-yellow rectangle; in IE/Mac,
		the tooltip displays as a cartoon bubble in the manner of the Mac OS
		bubble help system. Netscape 6 tooltips are the same small rectangle
		on all OS versions. If no attribute is specified, the tooltip does
		not display.
		</p><p>You can assign any descriptive text you like to this attribute. Not
		everyone will see it, however, so do not put mission-critical
		information here. Browsers designed to meet web accessibility
		criteria might use this attribute's information to
		read information about a link or nontext elements to vision-impaired
		web surfers. Therefore, don't ignore this
		potentially helpful aid to describing an element's
		purpose on the page.
		</p><p>Although the compatibility listing for this attribute dates the
		attribute back to Internet Explorer 3 and HTML 3.2, it is newly
		ascribed to many elements starting with IE 4 and HTML 4.0.
