Nettuts+ Quiz #12: Quirky HTML Tags

Taking a break from the relatively technical focus of the past few quizzes, we’re going to do something very offbeat today. Yes, Offbeat with a capital O. Be it front end or back end programming, I’m sure you’re working with HTML tags every day. But as the saying goes, can you ‘catch ‘em all?’ Or rather, can you figure out what these rarely used HTML tags do?

I can already hear you chuckling with mirth, grasshopper. I’ve added a few deprecated tags just to keep you on your toes. Get everything right and prove that your HTML-fu is strong!

    Except sup tag I did not used any other tag showed in this quiz, but I got 71.43% and this means that these new HTML tags are really easy to figure out what are for!

    Wow, 100%! I have to admit that I basically guessed on a few of those, but once they got into HTML5 territory, I did pretty well without guessing.

  • Jesus Bejarano

    42.86 :( Hey i started with HTLM5 a month ago. In the next test i hope to gain a 100% :)

  • mnowluck

    LOL.. some very weird quiz, few tags I’ve never used

  • http://beyn.org/ Barış Ünver

    I scored 92,86%, nice :)

    Also, I LOLed at “Creates a key for your favorite software” :D

    Now you’ve outdone yourselves! This sh** is hard… or is it that I’ve just had zero need for nearly all of these tags?

    “Almost there! With a little more work, you will have this man’s swagger! You scored 85.71%”

    Missed the and surprisingly the tag too.

  • Atachi

    While getting 100%, I do have to admit that this quiz was on some parts really hard.
    About half of them I only got right because of elimination.

  • Potado

    7.14% :(

  • http://www.adesignlink.com Chad p

    Almost there! With a little more work, you will have this man’s swagger! You scored 78.57%

  • Lucas Rolff

    This actually shows, how much developers / frontend people really knows the HTML. I was like.. Does this tag even exist, with most of them.

    But yeah, think this one was pretty nice!

  • http://andywalpole.me/ Andy

    I knew that XHTML had some Ruby-specific markup but some the of the other markup is new to me- ,

    I do wonder why they haven’t been deprecated if they are so little used

  • http://www.liamcarey.com Liam

    Make this quiz a tutorial – the functionality and transitions are excellent!!

  • http://kodington.com Peter Frank

    Somewhere in the middle of this test I was sure you put some imaginary tags into it. With 92.86% I was epic enough to listen to that music… :)

  • http://www.web4you.co.in Deven CK

    Mine was 70% but still BAD, All the tags in quiz are hardly used in website. They might be usefull but do you think all browsers support this ? Also I hope soon this kind of tags will be commonly used in websites .. :-)
