I have an <acronym> tag within a <td>, e.g.:

<td>Short text<acronym class="help" title="Really long text">...</acronym></td>

Now here's the weird thing - it looks like it's not working at all - the ... is displayed, but it's not functioning as an <acronym>. But when I was trying to debug this I was running it under firebug. That made it run much slower, and I could see that it was rendering it as an <acronym> and it worked as such for a moment, but then when the page was all done being rendered, all the '...'s 'went off' and were no longer functioning as an <acronym>.

This does work when outside of the table.

Anyone know what could make this happen?

What do you mean it wasn't functioning as an acronym? Your styling of it didn't work or what?

I mean nothing was displayed when I moused over it.

When I was running it under firebug the text in title was displayed when I moused over it (i.e. it worked), but then once the page was fully rendered mousing over it did nothi9ng.

Ah, the title didn't work. Can you either link to the page or copy and paste the exact HTML in here?

I can't post a link to the page, it a site that's internal to my client. The exact HTML is over 1000 lines. Let me put together a minimal example. I'll do that in the morning.

There's some javascript that post processes the data in the table and that's breaking the <acronym> functionality.
