HTML - Deprecated Tags - What To Use Instead
Am I right in this:
instead of <i>, use <em> instead of <center>, use CSS instead of <b>, use <strong> This is what I do now because it works and the above codes are shorter than if one had to write it with inline CSS. What else than these 3 tags can you recommend that I use instead of the old HTML tags?? Similar TutorialsI am trying to make my code more standards compliant and use the "strict" DTD. But when I try to validate using the W3C validator, there are a few things that I'm having trouble with. Target: I was using <a href target="blank" ....> to open some external links in a new window, but this isn't allowed in HTML 4 strict or XHTML 1 strict. What is supposed to be the replacement? The only thing I could find on a web search was a javascript, which I know little about. Is that the only alternative? (Seems a bit silly if it is, as this must be a commonly used feature.) Align: I used this to centre graphics, but this isn't allowed either. Are we supposed to set up different image classes in the CSS to allow centering, left, etc? br: Use of the <br> tag is allowed in HTML 4 strict, but there seem to be some paces where it isn't allowed. Does anyone have a reference to the rules for this? Thanks this issue has been solved i'm looking for a cheap way out of making collapse/expand code. i've learned a lot of 'ghetto' techniques n thought mayb i can use something similar to the html tricks i've learned in the past. the theory i have is.. i use the title of the collapse/expand text as a link to the text below it to open and close by using the navigating tags: Code: <a name="content">opening/closing text here</a> and the title above the content: Code: <a href="#content">Title</a> to open the area of text. now my idea of a shortcut around the whole css/html/javacript combo is to make the text below it use a Code: <font size=0>content</font> at default and have the href title link change the font size to the default 9pt but I don't know if that's even possible. Is it possible with the Code: <div> tags? and if so, using that, would i still b able to make a link like that? When <b> and <i> aren't? I mean, aren't they are all equal at a semantic level? And considering as for better semantic syntax you should be using <strong> and <em>... Just wondering - anyone else have thoughts? Is it possible to trigger the action of a form with a submit button that's outside the form tags? If so, how should this example be rescripted to make the input tag work outside the form tags? [/code] <html> <body> <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="Mickey" /><br /> Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="Mouse" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> [/code] Hi all, long time no post for me, good to see still a vibrant forum. I have been helping a friend with their existing site they built with Weebly. Weebly uses the deprecated html <font> tag to set the size of text the user sets via the GUI. Ive found the font tag does not play nice with line-height, I.e. when line-height is set to a value other than "normal", the actual size of the font in the <font> tags does not figure in the line-height calculation and if the font tag has a large size set, you get major bleeding - i.e. the line-height is too small. At least in Opera Chrome FF. I came up with a solution which seems to work but I thought this should be a known problem but could not find anything. Thought Id check see, may be there is a better fix, or I m missing something. Current solution is: font[size="1"] { font-size:xx-small; line-height:100% } font[size="2"] { font-size:small; line-height:100% } font[size="3"] { font-size:medium; line-height:100% } font[size="4"] { font-size:large; line-height:100% } font[size="5"] { font-size:x-large; line-height:100% } font[size="6"] { font-size:xx-large; line-height:100% } font[size="7"] { font-size:40pt; line-height:100% } Can you see any problem with this. Cheers, Sam. First post on here, but I'm not really new to HTML. I just have a problem with the placing of a picture on a page. My website is www.fcumania.co.uk, which was created mainly with the use of a website designer - though these days I just edit it through Notepad. I have a problem whereby I need to add a small picture in the box where the crude "Hi-Resolution pictures" form is located. I can't seem to be able to edit the code, and the div tags in order to do this. I know it has something to do with the CSS, and so presuming you can view the source code on the main site, the CSS files are located he www.fcumania.co.uk/index_p.css www.fcumania.co.uk/index_g.css I'm sure all of you on here will be able to resolve this, and TIA if you can. Alastair. i have a problem about using div tags in general and positioning layers on a page. i'm a beginner so forgive my way of asking but i would appreciate any help i could get in understanding it. Should be something simple to figure out, I know... but I'm having some trouble with the div tags in a section of my site. What I'm trying to do is place a few images side by side, 160 pixels from the top and center alignment. It places the images 160px from top but not in the center... This is the code I'm using: <div style=" top: 160; position: absolute; z-index: 1; visibility: show; align: center; "> Why won't it work??? Hello there, I need some help with my DIV tag as it isnt doing what I tell it to do. Heres a screenshot of it: And here is the CSS code: Code: body{
background-image: url(img/bg.gif);
font-family: verdana, arial;
font-size: 12px;
color: black;
}
#content{
height: 100%;
width: 750px;
background-color: #afafaf;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: medium;
border-color: red;
border-style: solid;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
}
#copyright{
height: 20px;
width: 740px;
background-color: #9f9f9f;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
border: medium;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
}
Its the "copyright" one that is messing with me, as you can see the red border is there. But the small div tag wont center in the div tag. I hope you understand what I mean Hi I'm currenty learning how to use div tags I was wondering if anyone had any resources on the attributes of the div tag, havent came across anything that relates to the code i am currently working on. HTML Code: <div style = "z-index:2;left:40px;top:100px;position:absolute;color:red;text:white;font-size:30pt;border:groove">
<p> Division 1 </p>
</div>
<div style = "z-index:2;left:00px;top:250px;position:absolute;color:red;text:white;font-size:30pt;border:groove">
</div>
Does div tags generally just handle borders or can u fill a division with colour as in make a rectangle or whatever? Heres some code i have been presented by my lecturer, I can read the attributes well i think but if someone could explain it i would be greatfull just to check my understanding Thanks CW Hi all, I'm working on a wordpress site with nextgen plugin (not really important) My problem is this: Let's say i have this structu HTML Code: <p>
<a href="">
<img src="" />
</a>
</p>
Now if my img is 100px height, the <p> still stays 0px, and i think that's because of the <a> tag. But the <p> has to adjust its height to whatever height the <img> is. How can i achieve this? I hope you understand what i mean here Thanks already. I was doing reading and practicing at the w3 site and came along the <pre>/</pre> tag section. I find it easier using these tags instead of the <p>/<p> tags as you don't have to insert <br> tags everytime you want to start a new sentence within your paragraph. Does it really matter as far as coding goes if you use this or is it just considered not proper coding techiques? Note: Also,i added a paragraph at the very end of my test page just using the <pre>/</pre> tags and the "Style/Type Attributes" did not apply to it.Why is this? Kindly, Texan Who can HELP ME with divs hello, I have a html file that contains many lines. I want add a tag in every line so that I can display them with different color. How to do it? Thanks hi my name is salil. m working on a website completely in .jsp all the links are called in div containers. so just wanted to ask if is it possible to use the back button of the browser in that case... if yes how can we use it? currently when i click on the back button of the browser then i go to the previous visited site. thanking all of you for your feedbacks. salil What exactly do the Span and Div tags do? I've read definitions on the web: "defines a block of text," etc., but I don't see any examples of what the difference is from normal text to text that is used using the span and div tags. Could someone provide any examples? Thanks, Brad hello i dont no if i have written these meta tags correctly, because my website doesnt come up on google. Any Help? HTML Code: <head> <title>Dark-Host.net</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta name="keywords" content="dark-host web hosting cheap affodable efficent webhosting free australian dark host " /> <meta name="description" content="Dark-Host.net, Cheap and Affodable Web Hosting! /> </head> Is it possible to define coordinates for the area in percentages of the image instead of pixels? For the map I want to use an image that resizes depending on the viewport resolution. Then pixel coordinates obviously don't work. |
