Deprecated HTML tags (Elements) |

What's a deprecated tag (Element)?
Older HTML tags (Elements) and attributes that have been superseded by other more functional or flexible alternatives (whether as HTML or as CSS) are declared as deprecated in HTML4 by the W3C - the consortium that sets the HTML standards. Browsers should continue to support deprecated tags, but eventually these tags are likely to become obsolete and so future support cannot be guaranteed.
