Common Tags

Anyone knows of a site that listed all tags that both Netscape and IE uses? I know IE has some tags that does not work in Netscape so I want to stay away from those tags.

Thanks

The W3C is the definitive source of what is HTML. Their doco for HTML is very nice and straight forward. It's the doco for CSS that can be annoying to use as a reference (not too bad if you are willing to read it cover to cover, and I'm not) and the doco for the DOM that requires multiple cross references to check on anything.

Some links:

The W3C HTML 4.01 Recommendation
A list of HTML 4.01 Elements and their status: This quickly tells you what will accept closing tags, what forbids closing tags, what has been depricated, and under which DTD the tag falls. Mind you, it is possible to find a tag (optgroup) that is not, yet, supported by mainstream browsers.
The W3C's HTML Validator

Download and use Mozilla - it only supports official tags (Opera probably as well). And a good browser maker will have release notes tellling you what w3c standard tags aren't fully supported.

Mozilla (and hopefully its sister Netscape) probably supports more than Opera, as odd as that is. But Josh is right, neither of these browsers will support proprietary tags. If they support it, it is part of that standard.

By the way, Hawk, that is an eagle in your sig. :)

Thanks Josh and CiberTHuG

:D:D:D:D I got pictures of hawk too but that picture was just too cool. Sounds like you know your bird of prey. :)

Not terribly, no, but that is a Bald Eagle, and I am American, so....
