I have heard that it is possible to search for HTML code. Does anybody know
how to do that? The idea would be something like "code: LEGEND" or "html:
legend" as a search string but those don't work in Goggle, at least.

Jim,
Try these sites, they have examples of the legend attribute within a form setting:

Thanks Christine.
I was just using "legend" as an example. My interest is whether or not a tag
or attribute is used on the web, and/or the extent to which it is used. Thus
I wanted to search for that tag or attribute - in the HTML - not as (help)
text about the tag or attribute.

Here's the URL for the list of special search types at AltaVista;
code or html isn't one of them, though:
