What is the preferred method?

[DrDoc]

Since it's an acronym the letters should be capitalized. However, FAQ and F.A.Q. are both correct, technically. It's more common with just FAQ though..

(think about other acronyms, such as NATO, UN, NASA, USA, EU)

[Harley_m]

I would personally use just FAQ - but the capitals are a must...

hope that helps

I would use FAQ or F.A.Q. but also add 'Frequently Asked Questions' as some people won't know what it means.

[drnoble]

as sem4u said,

FAQ or F.A.Q. with the full text somewhere, preferably as an abbreviation, ie <abbr title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</abbr>

however... Internet Exploiter does not support the abbr tag[1] so you might want to use acronym.

[1] there is a javascript hack that can be used to get IE to mimick support. [sovavsiti.cz...]

IE does support the title attribute!

<a href="faq.htm" title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQ</a>

Frequently Asked Questions will appear in a tool tip box when the mouse is over the link.

IE does support the title attribute *on certain elements*

It supports the title on <acronym> <a> and others, BUT NOT ON <abbr>

if you put <abbr title="Webmaster World">WW</abbr>
internet explorer *will not* show this title, if you incorrectly[1] put <acronym title="Webmaster World">WW</acronym> IE *will* show the title.

[1] incorrectly as and acronym is "A word formed from the initial letters of a name" (dictionary.com)

[RFranzen]

A workaround to IE not supporting the title attribute in <abbr> is to use <span>. Example:

<span title="percent of goal">%g</span>

(Tested on IE v6.02.)
