Hidden features of HTML

HTML being the most widely used language (at least as a markup language) has not gotten its due credit.
Considering that it has been around for so many years, things like the FORM / INPUT controls have still remained same with no new controls added.

So at least from the existing features, do you know any features that are not well known but very useful.

Of course, this question is along the lines of:

Hidden Features of JavaScript
Hidden Features of CSS
Hidden Features of C#
Hidden Features of VB.NET
Hidden Features of Java
Hidden Features of classic ASP
Hidden Features of ASP.NET
Hidden Features of Python
Hidden Features of TextPad
Hidden Features of Eclipse

Do not mention features of HTML 5.0, since it is in working draft

Please specify one feature per answer .

Using a protocol-independent absolute path:

<img src="//domain.com/img/logo.png"/>

If the browser is viewing an page in SSL through HTTPS, then it'll request that asset with the https protocol, otherwise it'll request it with HTTP.

This prevents that awful "This Page Contains Both Secure and Non-Secure Items" error message in IE, keeping all your asset requests within the same protocol.

Caveat: When used on a <link> or @import for a stylesheet, IE7 and IE8 download the file twice. All other uses, however, are just fine.

The label tag logically links the label with the form element using the "for" attribute. Most browsers turn this into a link which activates the related form element.

<label for="fiscalYear">Fiscal Year</label>
<input name="fiscalYear" type="text" id="fiscalYear"/>

The contentEditable property for (IE, Firefox, and Safari)

<table>
    <tr>
      <td><div contenteditable="true">This text can be edited<div></td>
      <td><div contenteditable="true">This text can be edited<div></td>
    </tr>
</table>

This will make the cells editable! Go ahead, try it if you don't believe me.
