7 Cool HTML Elements Nobody Uses
Searching for cool HTML elements, especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for, is often like being thrown into a pile of garbage
Don’t worry, I did the dirty work for you!
After scavenging through the seemingly endless pile of HTML elements, I dug up a few of the rarely used gems!
1. meter
& progress
The progress
element is the semantically correct way of displaying progress bars.
The meter
element is progress
on steroids. Apart from displaying a scalar measurement within a known range, it allows you to specify the value's low, high & optimum range.
<meter
min="0"
max="100"
low="25"
high="75"
optimum="80"
value="50"
></meter>
2. sup
& sub
You can add superscripts (like x²
) with sup
and subscripts (like x₀
) using sub
to your document.
