The complete list of XHTML 1.0 Strict tags

Introduction

Don't use tags for anything other than what they mean.

For example, do not use the blockquote tag for indenting normal text; blockquote is for long quotations only.

Do not use the table tag for layout; use it only for tabular data.
Choose a tag with meaning rather than one without.

For example, the links in the menu are a list. Use the ul and li tags instead of the div tag (which has no meaning).

Use small for small text, not span (which has no meaning).
Using tags properly makes your page easier to use.

For example, associate text with form elements using the label tag:
```
<label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
```
... allows the user to focus the input or textarea or to check a checkbox by clicking on the text.

Properly declaring an acronym:
```
<acronym title="National Aeronautics and Space Administration">NASA</acronym>
```
... allows the visitor to see what the acronym means when he places the mouse over it.
Below is the complete list of XHTML 1.0 Strict tags ordered alphabetically. You can also see them ordered by function.
