It's about me, Dan Gayle, and my dog. Except, there is no dog.

How Many HTML Elements Can You Name in 5 Minutes?

I named 46 HTML 4.0 elements.

A, ABBR, ACRONYM, B, BIG, BLOCKQUOTE, BODY, CITE, CODE, DD, DIV, DL, DT, EM, FIELDSET, FORM, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, HTML, I, IFRAME, IMG, INPUT, LI, LINK, META, OBJECT, OL, P, PRE, Q, S, SMALL, SPAN, STRONG, STYLE, TABLE, TD, TEXTAREA, TR, U, UL

I forgot 45 HTML 4.0 elements.

Not bad, considering that the remaining few, short of a few form elements, are rarely ever used. The ones I slap my head over are marked in bold:

ADDRESS, APPLET, AREA, BASE, BASEFONT, BDO, BR, BUTTON, CAPTION, CENTER, COL, COLGROUP, DEL, DFN, DIR, FONT, FRAME, FRAMESET, HEAD, HR, INS, ISINDEX, KBD, LABEL, LEGEND, MAP, MENU, NOFRAMES, NOSCRIPT, OPTGROUP, OPTION, PARAM, SAMP, SCRIPT, SELECT, STRIKE, SUB, SUP, TBODY, TFOOT, TH, THEAD, TITLE, TT, VAR

The rest are rarely, if ever, used in 90% web design. In fact, some of them I have no idea what they do. Perhaps this will give me an opportunity to discover what I’ve been missing :)
