Because of the large amount of flight simulator jargon used throughout the website, i thought it might be a good idea to include abbr tags for abbreviations and topic specific words.

These work by putting a dotted line underneath an abbreviation or a piece of jargon which - when hovered over- reveals a 'tooltip' style message.

This could be helpful to people who are just getting into flightsim and are not familiar with aviation/fs terminology.

for example, the code

Code:

<abbr title="Internet Explorer">IE</abbr> 

would produce something like this:



Note the dotted line underneath 'IE' to show which words reveal an abbreviation.

Unfortunately, I have been told this tag will not display to Internet explorer users until version 7 is released with windows vista although version 6 does recognise the 'acronym' tag which is similar if not identical.
