You can do this in HTML:I'm from the <abbr title="United Kingdom">UK</abbr>.Then when you hover over the text UK it shows United Kingdom.It's valid in HTML and xHTML too I believe.

He's asking what the abbreviations mean in HTML.<p> stands for "paragraph", <a> stands for "anchor", href stands for "hypertext reference" (If I'm not wrong) and so on.

Thanks for alexnofue to provide us with the page from Wikipedia.Also, thanks for uwspstar to provide us with that page from W3schools.If tadpole needs a site which gives all meanings of all abbr(s), it would be this site.Furthermore, we can use Google's search operator "define:" by typing in the search textarea: define:HTTP , define:SQL ...etc.
