Need to test some things out? Do it here.

Acronym works.  ;)

By the way, there isn't a button for that one, you have to type "acronym=" and the closing tag at the end.

Does it work?  I moused over it the first time and the additional text appeared for about 5 seconds.  After that, I couldn't get it to reappear.

I had to refresh the page to see it again, and again, it only lasted for 5 seconds the first time only.

5 seconds is about all it lasts, but you shouldn't have to refresh the page to see it. Just move the mouse off and back. (Tested this in FireFox 3 and IE 6.)

Ok... well, I'm telling you that I tried that and it didn't work, and I'm using IE 7.

Ok, I found a nice Javascript tooltip called Sweet Titles (by Dustin Diaz). I've added it to the forum, so hopefully this meets our needs for tool tips. It works with the acronym tags.

This looks awesome.  I'll have to try it out.  Thanks.  :D
