Great, now I can finally look up the atomic weight of a <div> tag!

I think you can change its atomic weight using styles though...

Except for the img tag, pretty much

That must be where the tracking cookie and pop up ad tags live.

I really like this. I'll point people to this instead of the spec itself when I commonly get "x is deprecated/not valid anymore" or "what is x?"

A list of attributes for each one would be nice, too.

So, did h7 and h8 not make the cut? I'm not seeing them.

Where's the blink tag?

Even the img tag is used heavily in XSS attacks.

Some of those tags have a long half-life...

OK, this actually is kind of geeky cool.


I still don't think this will help me to balance any equations or find that tag I forgot to ?/close>, though.

I don't know if you're serious, but...

I don't think there was ever an h7 or h8 in a spec. Some browser may have supported them at one time, though.

Anyway, the outline rules in HTML5 are such where you can use h1 for all headers, as long as you use articles and sections properly. If you section things off in a hierarchical way, there's no need for "h2" or "h3" to build an outline. A tool could use just h1 tags to build a properly nested table of contents for a document. So even better in some ways.

Newer versions of IE supported (I don't know if it's still the case) h7 and h8 as part of the upcoming HTML 5. It was kind of tentative even then, because it wasn't known if the new h's were going to make it in. You've answered my question.

And graceful degradation cries itself quietly to sleep...

very nice, shown me a few things I wasn't aware of

but as a professional web designer I unfortunately know this is useless for quite a few years until IE 6 dies!

Too bad they had to use w3schools as the reference for tags...there's much better reference site than w3schools...

Gotcha. Yeah, I didn't know that. I thought it was a thing some old browsers did during the great browser wars (hey, ours goes to 8!)

LOL, just say no to h8.

Well this is useful and well laid out
