Page Glossary
General Information
- Purpose
- A replacement for makeGlossary. This script collects all of the abbreviations (
<abbr>), acronyms (<acronym>), and definitions (<dfn>) on a page and builds a definition list (<dl>) of the terms, which is appended to a specified container (identified by itsid). The script checks for duplicate terms and also alphabetizes the terms. This script was created as a usability enhancement for webpages. - Current Version

Use
Simply include the pageGlossary.js file in the head of your document.
