How Many HTML Elements Can You Name in 5 Minutes?
I just got this fun little link off of Michael Porter's ColdFusion and Flex Blog. I was able to name 56 HTML elements, but more shockingly, I couldn't remember 35 elements! Of the 35 that I couldn't name, I don't even know what some of them are; I guess it's time to hit the books again. You should check it out, it's a fun game.

Note: During the game, I had to google the spelling of "acronym" cause I cannot spell to save my life :)

Haha. That's cool. I only got 41 elements. A couple I missed that I know I use, but the rest I just never use. Fun link!
I only managed 29... I forgot a lot of the simple ones (form related) that I use daily. But it also amazed me some of the ones that were in there that I had never seen!

It's so much easier having the elements index in another window!
Nice job. I named 47. Wow there are some obscure tags.
It's a hard test because I think I never really think of the tag set as a whole. When I think of "tags" I really only think of content tags like P, SPAN, DIV, etc. It was only in the last minute (after sitting there for 2 minutes) that I remember all the HEAD and FORM related elements.
Cool, i've got 52 :)
They should make a CF version of this!
Strange - I remembered almost all the hard/obscure ones, but forgot:
br
and everything related to tables: table, tr, td, thead, th....
html 4.0, there are so many that I simply never use, thena gain I missed a few that I use all the time! It was only in the last 30 seconds that I even entered IMG!! HA. Funny also how many I entered that I don't use due to xhtml / css usage also.
