Ten HTML Tags You Need To Know - Are you thinking of putting your business on the Web? If so, this tag is absolutely essential. Simply use the money tag in place of the tag and expect a torrent of profits. The relative obscurity of this tag is probably the single greatest obstacle the Web faces in becoming an economic force majeur. Use it liberally! - The subliminal tag is the Web-grifter's greatest asset. Specifying the type and value of subliminal message you want to convey gives the Web coder a cheap and effective form of mind control. This tag should be all the rage not just among adult sites, but commercial sites in general. Sadly, the subliminal tag has not seen an effective adoption rate so far. My personal favorite use for the subliminal tag: - On the surface, the unattributed iglatinpay tag is a little gimmicky. It merely takes whatever text is contained within and converts it to pig Latin. However, the ability to specify an ISO-character set and encryption types ranging from ROT13 to 128-bit NSA makes the iglatinpay tag an indispensable tool for data thieves, pornographers, and anyone else who has a vested interest in protecting dubiously legal information. Urrayhay orfay iglatinpay! - This is actually an Easter-egg tag found in Netscape Navigator 4.0. Placing this tag on your page invokes an animated Marc Andreessen (in white face-paint, no less!) doing his best Marcel Marceau imitation. Valid types include "walk against the wind," "caught in a box," "sitting and reading," "coding and drinking Jolt," and "HappyFace 1995/SadFace 1998." - When Microsoft learned of the Navigator mime tag Easter egg, it included the dance tag in Internet Explorer 4.0. This tag instantiates a 3D ActiveX control of Bill Gates shaking his booty to a variety of different popular dance moves. What this tag lacks in verbal punning, it makes up for in scope. The Webmonkeys have tried everything from "Foxtrot" to "Funky Chicken," "Moonwalk," "Smurf," and "Macarena." In fact, every dance move we could think of seemed to be included. Rumor has it that IE 4.0's large footprint is due mostly to the ActiveBill dance tag. - Use this tag to demarcate content that's pretty kinky - the kind you won't take home to mother, content that will never let your spirits down, once you get it off the streets. Owww. - Use this tag to dictate how your code will degrade from browser to browser and platform to platform. A little-known fact is that this tag is instantiated on every Web page today, although it's not viewable in the code unless specified by the author. Unfortunately, due to errors or competitive practices in both Explorer and Navigator, the default setting for the degrade tag is pain-in-the-ass. You should specify a degrade type of graceful, so your HTML will work nicely across all browsers and platforms. - Few people actually realize this, but when a Web surfer encounters a page utilizing the you're it tag, he or she actually becomes "it," and remains "it" until building a page using the you're it tag or kicking Tim Berners-Lee hard in the shins. This tag does have some known bugs - cooties - associated with it, so be forewarned. Cooties. Ewww. Gross. - the XML tag. Duh. - Use this tag to separate content that is patently false or misleading from the rest of your Web page. This is especially useful when you intend to dupe your readership into believing a set of facts that simply aren't true, and then expose the truth at a later date.
