Nerd and/or geek quiz How many HTML elements can you name in 5 minutes?.→[More:]
I thought I'd cruise this with style, but only managed to come up with 35. I can't believe some of the ones I missed considering that HTML is a massive part of my day job.

This is awesome!!!! I'm going to try it again in a few minutes when I can concentrate.

That's cheating - they give you a list of the elements you forgot after you've completed it!

I took this last week and scored in the fifties. I was incredibly angry with myself for forgetting all of the form elements, as I work with them almost every hour of almost every day.

You think that's bad: I forgot the <Hn> and <div> elements! How in the hell did I manage that?! I got other stuff like cite, dfn, ins, del, q, object and so on, but not the very basics of a well-coded page!

I only got 35, and I did remember all of the Hn elements.

I managed 51. Most of the stuff I missed I don't think I've ever even used.

Aha! I didn't actually finish it because my boyfriend was berating me for not vacuuming so I quit out. However, having read some of the comments in here now, some of you reminded me of ones I wouldn't have otherwise thought to enter. So I won't compete, I still think it's fun!
