Main Index | Element Tree | Element Index | HTML Support History


Throughout the pages for each element, there is a section detailing the Parent/Content model relationship between a given element and all the rest of the HTML element. To list ALL applicable elements in each relationship on every page would be a big waste of space, especially since there are many categories of behavior that elements can commonly be grouped in to when identifying these Parent/Content relationships. These categories are based on those used in the HTML DTDs to define behavior for the language.
