Can an abbr tag's title be styled?

Take the following code:

<abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr>

Can we style an abbr tag's title? So that instead of a custom tooltip we can use title?

Solution

  • If you mean style the actual text that pops up, no you can't style that with CSS; it's browser-specific. Javascript-based tooltips would be the way I would handle it, since it allows to have more control over this behavior.
