function displayAbbreviations(){
	
	if(!document.getElementsByTagName) return false;
	if(!document.createElement) return false;
	if(!document.createTextNode) return false;

	var abbreviations = document.getElementsByTagName("abbr");
	if(abbreviations.length<1) return false;

	//for( var i in abbreviations ){

		var key = current_abbr.lastChild.nodeValue;
		defs[key] = definition;
	}
	
	var dlist = document.createElement("dl");
	
	for(key in defs){
		var definition = defs[key];
		
		var dtitle = document.createElement("dt");

		dlist.appendChild(dtitle);
		dlist.appendChild(ddesc);
	}
	var header = document.createElement("h2");
	var header_text = document.createTextNode("Abbrevaitions");
	header.appendChild(header_text);
	
	document.body.appendChild(header);
	document.body.appendChild(dlist);

}
addLoadEvent(displayAbbreviations);

注释部分的循环不能替换为for in，实在令人费解，控制台打出的abbreviations没问题。
