No.
But here's the entire thing for your CSS file
and modifying pleasure (it's been around the net
for a while -- not my invention):

abbr, acronym, .help {
border-bottom: 1px dotted #777;
cursor: help;
}

The above CSS is referenced from markup like:

<span class="help" title="Pronounced with a long o.">kludge</span>
<acronym title="Department of Transportation">DOT</acronym>

When Do-Gooders Do Bad
full article at http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b1248ad3fed.htm
by Russell Madden
The desire to act in accordance with our visions of what constitutes the
good is deeply rooted in human nature and society. Despite all the
inconsistencies evidenced by particular individuals in failing to live up to
their ideals, the average person does his best to struggle to fulfill the
standards and values he has adopted.
When discussing issues of "the good" and acting to obtain that good, we are,
in essence, dealing with ethical or moral matters. For anyone who desires to
live, ethics are not optional. Each of us operates according to some ethical
system. Those ethics may be consciously chosen after long research and
evaluation. They may be implicitly adopted from our parents or social
network. They may be consistent, a mishmash of contradictory notions,
rational, irrational, or (for many people) a blending of the two.
Regardless of the particular morality they look to for guidance in daily
life, people will (more or less) work towards whatever goals and by whatever
means their ethics suggests to them. In general, this creates no problem in
terms of retaining our freedoms. If an individual's morality is faulty, if
the values selected or the means used to obtain those values are, in
reality, destructive, only he and those who voluntarily associate with him
will suffer the negative consequences of his erroneous actions.
The danger comes when a desire to do good crosses the line from the personal
to the political. While there are any number of reasons to explain the
erosion of our liberty, the behavior of would-be moralists who seek to
impose their vision of the good upon the rest of us must rank highly on any
such list.
Enlisting the aid of the state to ensure that others behave in an ethical
fashion is, itself, unethical. Even if we grant that the particular actions
sought are objectively positive, there is no justification for one person or
group of persons to petition the coercive institutions of the government to
force benighted malefactors to act in their own self-interest.
If my neighbor observed that I was a spend-thrift and squandered my money on
frivolities and had no savings to live on when I retire, he would be doing
me a harm if he asked the government to withhold part of my income and to
establish a social security program to ensure I had at least a modest amount
of money available for my old age.
If my neighbor discerned that I endangered my health by drinking too much
beer, smoking too many cigarettes, and consuming too many recreational
drugs, he would be doing a bad thing should he get the state to tax or
prohibit such products in order to inhibit or prevent me from using them. A
drug enforcement agency or a bureau which regulated the alcohol and
cigarettes I desired would be unjustified, even if my health drastically
improved.
If my neighbor noticed that I watched too many movies filled with violence,
gratuitous sex, and foul language, he would be injuring me if he sought to
found a federal commission charged with the responsibility of increasing the
amount of uplifting and serious entertainment and educational programming
available to me.
If my neighbor caught me remodeling my basement without installing a larger
window for easier egress in case of fire, he would be doing violence to me
if he called on the city to institute a mandatory building code even if
those guidelines might save my life.
If my neighbor realized that I rode my motorcycle without a helmet or drove
my car without wearing a seat belt, he would be wrong to have the national
government blackmail my state government demanding that I correct my
behavior even if I thus increased my odds of surviving a crash.
If my neighbor visited my store and realized I employed no one who was
handicapped, from an ethnic minority, or obese, and I refused to sell my
goods to individuals of various races, he would be unethical in having a
federal office of affirmative action insist I hire certain numbers of
workers from particular groups and provide service to anyone who ventures
through my doors.
If my neighbor recognized that my locally based business teetered on the
brink of financial ruin, he would be doing me no favor should he get our
city council to forbid any mega-stores from locating nearby, even if doing
so would ensure that customers continued to frequent my establishment.
The label "do-gooders" carries a negative connotation for many, not because
it is bad to do good but because those called do-gooders are usually
perceived as intrusive busybodies more concerned with running other peoples'
lives than attending to their own. A do-gooder is frequently seen as
patronizing, condescending, and annoyingly self-righteous.
Under ordinary circumstances, we can simply tell such aggravating persons to
mind their own business and leave us alone. If they persist in their
ministrations to save us from ourselves, we can walk away and leave them
lecturing to the air.
Unfortunately, the do-gooders long ago trampled down the invisible
boundaries separating one citizen from another. Property rights --
individual rights -- have been battered into unrecognizable, ineffectual
blobs as the do-gooders shifted from private exhortation to public
incarceration of anyone rash enough to oppose their state-backed edicts and
directives.

Yeah, standardisation is *such* a bad idea. I mean, I /really/, *really*
want to buy electrical goods rated to work at 110 volts AC but have them
explode because my electricity supplier only does 150 volts DC :\

Voltage may not vary that much, but more than you think. Amperage varies
widely. You're tool is designed to operate within a range of voltages and
will only draw the amps it needs. Unlike shitty browsers like opera or
Netscape that aren't designed for the real world. They hope they can gain
enough market share to get the suckers will come to them. And it's working.
They're falling for it. Fueled by the maverick's disdain for the big guy.

That *was* kind of my point. If it were not for standardisation then
voltage *would* vary between every power station. Standards are good for
the end user; to think otherwise is ridiculous.

Then why not let Microsoft handle everything? Why cater to profiteering
copycats? If everyone only used IE there wouldn't be a problem. You want
code standardized but yet I'll bet you don't want just one browser, or you
do as long as it's not Microsoft's. Right?

No I've just gotten past my prejudices and am thinking clearly. IMO the
whole W3C deal has the exact opposite motive that it says it has. They're
not looking to standardize, they're looking to create division. Like I'm
going to go through great pains to conform to some arbitrary standard just
so any old hack can make a browser that works with it. You're the one who's
brainwashed.

If I recall correctly - just the oposite. Microsoft was always tweaking
with the things defined by others just to make whole world dependent on
Microsoft versions/implementations. Earliest versions of HTML were defined
before the earliest version of IE was published, but the earliest versions
of IE already contained 'Microsoft extensions'. That's where the problems
started.

Borek

Why not let Microsoft handle everything? <http://secunia.com/product/11/>
It's as safe as visiting a whore house without a condom.

I would hardly call Mozilla and Opera profiteering copycats. Netscape was
in use a long time before Internet Explorer, so it wasn't copying MS. Both
Opera (0% unpatched) and Mozilla (14% unpatched) fix security holes as soon
as they are discovered, so far MS still has 30% unpatched. No, I don't
think anyone wants to copy that kind of reputation.

I don't get it--why would anyone want to code for a specific browser
when there is a standard, browser-agnostic solution that does the job as
well? Especially if IE supports that same solution as other browsers,
and it takes no extra effort to code?

The only answers I can come up with are either laziness, or a refusal to
let go of the past. You can tell yourself whatever you like, but the
days of "best viewed in browser x" are gone. Get used to it or be left
in the dust.

BTW, I use an alternative browser not because I'm a Microsoft hater, but
more because IE is woefully feature-poor by comparison. Crikey, IE won't
even let me set a decent default text size, and I have to hunt and peck
for 5 minutes to try and figure out where to turn JavaScript on or off.
I can't bear using it. Fortunately I don't have to. :)

Hmmm... MS dropped support for MacIE a long time ago (a year+?). What do
you suggest Mac users do? Or those on any other non-Windows O/S?

> Why cater to profiteering copycats?

Um, the mozilla foundation is a non-profit. ;) Besides, as someone else
already mentioned, mozilla has its roots in Netscape, not IE.

You don't seem to account for the browser features and functionality
setting it apart from other browsers. Rendering HTML (and perhaps CSS
and/or scripting), is only one aspect.

> If everyone only used IE there wouldn't be a problem.

It would be a problem for me because IE is an inferior browser. I'd hate
to lower my standards (no pun intended) just to appease unrealistic
people like you.

> You want

I'll use whatever browser gives me the features and functionality *I*
need. That ain't IE, for sure. I doubt the next version will be much
better in the areas I deem important. When IE lets me set a real default
text size, I might give it more consideration.

Are you not also aware that MS is a W3C member, so they must be in favor
of these standards you seem dead set against? MS is actually a major
player in defining the standards; too bad they haven't bothered getting
their own browser up to the task. ;) They do seem serious about
improving the next version, though...
