&lt;acronym&gt; The &lt;acronym&gt; tag defines an acronym.

An acronym can be spoken as if it were a word, example NATO, NASA, ASAP, GUI.

By marking up acronyms you can give useful information to browsers, spellcheckers, screen readers, translation systems and search-engines.

Can I get this &lt;acronym title=&quot;as soon as possible&quot;&gt;ASAP&lt;/acronym&gt;?
&lt;col&gt; The &lt;col&gt; tag defines attribute values for one or more columns in a table.

The &lt;col&gt; tag is useful for applying styles to entire columns, instead of repeating the styles for each cell, for each row.

The &lt;col&gt; tag can only be used inside a table or a colgroup element.

&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;col align=&quot;left&quot; /&gt;
&lt;col align=&quot;left&quot; /&gt;
&lt;col align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;ISBN&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Title&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Price&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;3476896&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;My first HTML&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$53&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;option&gt; The &lt;option&gt; tag defines an option in a select list.

The option element goes inside the select element.

&lt;select&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Volvo&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Saab&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Mercedes&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Audi&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
Start numbering at specific number list &lt;OL START=&quot;n&quot;&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;var&gt; Defines a variable part of a text
&lt;area /&gt; Defines an area inside an image-map
&lt;label&gt; The &lt;label&gt; tag defines a label for an input element.

The label element does not render as anything special for the user. However, it provides a usability improvement for mouse users, because if the user clicks on the text within the label element, it toggles the control.

The for attribute of the &lt;label&gt; tag should be equal to the id attribute of the related element to bind them together.

&lt;form&gt;
&lt;label for=&quot;male&quot;&gt;Male&lt;/label&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;sex&quot; id=&quot;male&quot; /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;label for=&quot;female&quot;&gt;Female&lt;/label&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;sex&quot; id=&quot;female&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;object&gt; The &lt;object&gt; tag is used to include objects such as images, audio, videos, Java applets, ActiveX, PDF, and Flash.

The object element was intended to replace the img and applet elements. However, because of bugs and a lack of browser support this has not happened.

The object support in browsers depend on the object type. Unfortunately, the major browsers use different codes to load the same object type.

Luckily, the object element provides a solution. If the object element is not displayed, the code between the &lt;object&gt; and &lt;/object&gt; tags will be executed. This way we can have several nested object elements (one for each browser).

&lt;object classid=&quot;clsid:F08DF954-8592-11D1-B16A-00C0F0283628&quot; id=&quot;Slider1&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; height=&quot;50&quot;&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;BorderStyle&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;MousePointer&quot; value=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;Enabled&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;Min&quot; value=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;
&lt;param name=&quot;Max&quot; value=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
Link will load in full body of window TARGET=&quot;_top&quot;
&lt;tt&gt; &lt;i&gt; &lt;b&gt; &lt;big&gt; &lt;small&gt; The &lt;tt&gt;, &lt;i&gt;, &lt;b&gt;, &lt;big&gt;, and &lt;small&gt; tags are all font-style tags. They are not deprecated, but it is possible to achieve richer effect with CSS.

Tag Description

&lt;tr&gt; The &lt;tr&gt; tag defines a row in an HTML table.

A tr element contains one or more th or td elements.

&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Month&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Savings&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;January&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;$100&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
