How many HTML elements can you remember?

I found this fun test online, where you’re challenged to come up with as many HTML elements as you can remember:

It’s quite fun. I managed to dredge 73 elements out of my memory — really stretching to the limits of what I would ever consider using — but that left 41 elements still up for grabs.

Afterwards, looking at a full list of HTML elements, I see that most I didn’t get are things I’ve never used before and that (imho) seem a bit obscure.

Anyhow, have a go and see if you can beat my score! :stuck_out_tongue:

Afterwards, looking at a full list of HTML elements, I said “Doh!” a lot of times. I missed so many obvious ones.

For anyone else trying this, here is a full list of elements: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element

I hit 61 before I hit a wall. Peeked at the list and there were a couple head smacks, but a bunch I’ve just never found a use for and just completely forgot about them.

Nice find though…

I only managed 48 before stopping and trying, and 56 after trying. A few d’ohs when going through the element list, but mainly “I’ve never used that in my life”…

I got up to 62 before I gave up. I started going through my works CMS modules and the HTML for each, because we have a little something unique going on for a lot of our modules and it helped me grab some extras.

The rest of the list were pretty obscure. Definitely a few DOH’s in there.

If it helps (and I should have clarified) it was a mental exercise :slight_smile: . I did not open them up in reality. I went like:

Ok, Athletics is first…that has xyz…next up is Boards…
