I read all posts, its helpful for html learners.

Cheers. Good list. Didn't know most of those tags. I do use form tags, though.

Thanks for sharing.Really I haven't used any of those tags.They are very useful.Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing the links.

Thanks for sharing the info.I was aware of some of them.The theoretical world and practical world is becoming very different.The thing we use in our daily work, we remember them and the rest of the thing we forget very easily.These links were there in our book.But they are rarely used.

is it easy to learn website design.... i want to learn..pls help me

I wouldn't say these tags are too rare or new to me. It seems like I read about them in 2-4 first lessons at w3schools...

Really nice link. Thanks for sharing it.

Too many similar tags, like cite seems to look like italics and em(phasis).

I never knew about the optgroup but I've seen it done before and wondered how they did it.

Acronym/Abbreviate is neat, but it's basically the same as putting it in a span ..only you would have to set the border-bottom to dotted.

They forgot the strike tags <strike>striked text</strike>

really awesome Information,really this is rare tags for html.

People commonly use only up-to H3 tag Beyond that is the rare case

Perhaps it's because this thread is older, but even back then I knew about each of these tags :P
