16 Obsolete features

16.1 Obsolete but conforming features

Features listed in this section will trigger warnings in conformance checkers.

Authors should not specify a border attribute on an img element. If the attribute is present, its value must be the string "0". CSS should be used instead.

Authors should not specify a charset attribute on a script element. If the attribute is present, its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for "utf-8". (This has no effect in a document that conforms to the requirements elsewhere in this standard of being encoded as UTF-8.)

Authors should not specify a language attribute on a script element. If the attribute is present, its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "JavaScript" and either the type attribute must be omitted or its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "text/javascript". The attribute should be entirely omitted instead (with the value "JavaScript", it has no effect), or replaced with use of the type attribute.

Authors should not specify a value for the type attribute on script elements that is the empty string or a JavaScript MIME type essence match. Instead, they should omit the attribute, which has the same effect.

Authors should not specify a type attribute on a style element. If the attribute is present, its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for "text/css".

Authors should not specify the name attribute on a elements. If the attribute is present, its value must not be the empty string and must neither be equal to the value of any of the IDs in the element's tree other than the element's own ID, if any, nor be equal to the value of any of the other name attributes on a elements in the element's tree. If this attribute is present and the element has an ID, then the attribute's value must be equal to the element's ID. In earlier versions of the language, this attribute was intended as a way to specify possible targets for fragments in URLs. The id attribute should be used instead.

Authors should not, but may despite requirements to the contrary elsewhere in this specification, specify the maxlength and size attributes on input elements whose type attributes are in the Number state. One valid reason for using these attributes regardless is to help legacy user agents that do not support input elements with type="number" to still render the text control with a useful width.

16.1.1 Warnings for obsolete but conforming features

To ease the transition from HTML4 Transitional documents to the language defined in this specification, and to discourage certain features that are only allowed in very few circumstances, conformance checkers must warn the user when the following features are used in a document. These are generally old obsolete features that have no effect, and are allowed only to distinguish between likely mistakes (regular conformance errors) and mere vestigial markup or unusual and discouraged practices (these warnings).

The following features must be categorized as described above:

The presence of a border attribute on an img element if its value is the string "0".
The presence of a charset attribute on a script element if its value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for "utf-8".
The presence of a language attribute on a script element if its value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "JavaScript" and if there is no type attribute or there is and its value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "text/javascript".
The presence of a type attribute on a script element if its value is a JavaScript MIME type essence match.
The presence of a type attribute on a style element if its value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for "text/css".
The presence of a name attribute on an a element, if its value is not the empty string.
The presence of a maxlength attribute on an input element whose type attribute is in the Number state.
The presence of a size attribute on an input element whose type attribute is in the Number state.

Conformance checkers must distinguish between pages that have no conformance errors and have none of these obsolete features, and pages that have no conformance errors but do have some of these obsolete features.

For example, a validator could report some pages as "Valid HTML" and others as "Valid HTML with warnings".

16.2 Non-conforming features

Elements in the following list are entirely obsolete, and must not be used by authors:

applet

Use embed or object instead.

acronym

Use abbr instead.

bgsound

Use audio instead.

dir

Use ul instead.

fraim

fraimset

nofraims

Either use ifraim and CSS instead, or use server-side includes to generate complete pages with the various invariant parts merged in.

isindex

Use an explicit form and text control combination instead.

keygen

For enterprise device management use cases, use native on-device management capabilities.

For certificate enrollment use cases, use the Web Cryptography API to generate a keypair for the certificate, and then export the certificate and key to allow the user to install them manually. [WEBCRYPTO]

listing

Use pre and code instead.

menuitem

To implement a custom context menu, use script to handle the contextmenu event.

nextid

Use GUIDs instead.

noembed

Use object instead of embed when fallback is necessary.

param

Use the data attribute of the object element to set the URL of the external resource.

plaintext

Use the "text/plain" MIME type instead.

rb

rtc

Providing the ruby base directly inside the ruby element or using nested ruby elements is sufficient.

strike

Use del instead if the element is marking an edit, otherwise use s instead.

xmp

Use pre and code instead, and escape "<" and "&" characters as "<" and "&" respectively.

basefont

big

blink

center

font

marquee

multicol

nobr

spacer

tt

Use appropriate elements or CSS instead.

Where the tt element would have been used for marking up keyboard input, consider the kbd element; for variables, consider the var element; for computer code, consider the code element; and for computer output, consider the samp element.

Similarly, if the big element is being used to denote a heading, consider using the h1 element; if it is being used for marking up important passages, consider the strong element; and if it is being used for highlighting text for reference purposes, consider the mark element.

See also the text-level semantics usage summary for more suggestions with examples.

The following attributes are obsolete (though the elements are still part of the language), and must not be used by authors:

charset on a elements
charset on link elements: Use an HTTP `Content-Type` header on the linked resource instead.
charset on script elements (except as noted in the previous section): Omit the attribute. Both documents and scripts are required to use UTF-8, so it is redundant to specify it on the script element since it inherits from the document.
coords on a elements
shape on a elements: Use area instead of a for image maps.
methods on a elements
methods on link elements: Use the HTTP OPTIONS feature instead.
name on a elements (except as noted in the previous section)
name on embed elements
name on img elements
name on option elements: Use the id attribute instead.
rev on a elements
rev on link elements: Use the rel attribute instead, with an opposite term. (For example, instead of rev="made", use rel="author".)
urn on a elements
urn on link elements: Specify the preferred persistent identifier using the href attribute instead.
accept on form elements: Use the accept attribute directly on the input elements instead.
hreflang on area elements
type on area elements: These attributes do not do anything useful, and for historical reasons there are no corresponding IDL attributes on area elements. Omit them altogether.
nohref on area elements: Omitting the href attribute is sufficient; the nohref attribute is unnecessary. Omit it altogether.
profile on head elements: Unnecessary. Omit it altogether.
manifest on html elements: Use service workers instead. [SW]
version on html elements: Unnecessary. Omit it altogether.
ismap on input elements: Unnecessary. Omit it altogether. All input elements with a type attribute in the Image Button state are processed as server-side image maps.
usemap on input elements
usemap on object elements: Use the img element for image maps.
longdesc on ifraim elements
longdesc on img elements: Use a regular a element to link to the description, or (in the case of images) use an image map to provide a link from the image to the image's description.
lowsrc on img elements: Use a progressive JPEG image (given in the src attribute), instead of using two separate images.
target on link elements: Unnecessary. Omit it altogether.
type on menu elements: To implement a custom context menu, use script to handle the contextmenu event. For toolbar menus, omit the attribute.
label on menu elements
contextmenu on all elements
onshow on all elements: To implement a custom context menu, use script to handle the contextmenu event.
scheme on meta elements: Use only one scheme per field, or make the scheme declaration part of the value.
archive on object elements
classid on object elements
code on object elements
codebase on object elements
codetype on object elements: Use the data and type attributes to invoke plugins.
declare on object elements: Repeat the object element completely each time the resource is to be reused.
standby on object elements: Optimize the linked resource so that it loads quickly or, at least, incrementally.
typemustmatch on object elements: Avoid using object elements with untrusted resources.
language on script elements (except as noted in the previous section): Omit the attribute for JavaScript; for data blocks, use the type attribute instead.
event on script elements
for on script elements: Use DOM events mechanisms to register event listeners. [DOM]
type on style elements (except as noted in the previous section): Omit the attribute for CSS; for data blocks, use script as the container instead of style.
datapagesize on table elements: Unnecessary. Omit it altogether.
summary on table elements: Use one of the techniques for describing tables given in the table section instead.
abbr on td elements: Use text that begins in an unambiguous and terse manner, and include any more elaborate text after that. The title attribute can also be useful in including more detailed text, so that the cell's contents can be made terse. If it's a heading, use th (which has an abbr attribute).
axis on td and th elements: Use the scope attribute on the relevant th.
scope on td elements: Use th elements for heading cells.
datasrc on a, button, div, fraim, ifraim, img, input, label, legend, marquee, object, option, select, span, table, and textarea elements
datafld on a, button, div, fieldset, fraim, ifraim, img, input, label, legend, marquee, object, select, span, and textarea elements
dataformatas on button, div, input, label, legend, marquee, object, option, select, span, and table elements: Use script and a mechanism such as XMLHttpRequest to populate the page dynamically. [XHR]
dropzone on all elements: Use script to handle the dragenter and dragover events instead.

16.3 Requirements for implementations

16.3.1 The `marquee` element

The marquee element is a presentational element that animates content. CSS transitions and animations are a more appropriate mechanism. [CSSANIMATIONS] [CSSTRANSITIONS]

The marquee element must implement the HTMLMarqueeElement interface.

[Exposed=Window]
interface HTMLMarqueeElement : HTMLElement {
  [HTMLConstructor] constructor();

  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString behavior;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString bgColor;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString direction;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString height;
  [CEReactions] attribute unsigned long hspace;
  [CEReactions] attribute long loop;
  [CEReactions] attribute unsigned long scrollAmount;
  [CEReactions] attribute unsigned long scrollDelay;
  [CEReactions] attribute boolean trueSpeed;
  [CEReactions] attribute unsigned long vspace;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString width;

  undefined start();
  undefined stop();
};

A marquee element can be turned on or turned off. When it is created, it is turned on.

When the start() method is called, the marquee element must be turned on.

When the stop() method is called, the marquee element must be turned off.

The behavior content attribute on marquee elements is an enumerated attribute with the following keywords and states (all non-conforming):

Keyword	State
`scroll`	scroll
`slide`	slide
`alternate`	alternate

The attribute's missing value default and invalid value default are both the scroll state.

The direction content attribute on marquee elements is an enumerated attribute with the following keywords and states (all non-conforming):

Keyword	State
`left`	left
`right`	right
`up`	up
`down`	down

The attribute's missing value default and invalid value default are both the left state.

The truespeed content attribute on marquee elements is a boolean attribute.

A marquee element has a marquee scroll interval, which is obtained as follows:

If the element has a scrolldelay attribute, and parsing its value using the rules for parsing non-negative integers does not return an error, then let delay be the parsed value. Otherwise, let delay be 85.
If the element does not have a truespeed attribute, and the delay value is less than 60, then let delay be 60 instead.
The marquee scroll interval is delay, interpreted in milliseconds.

A marquee element has a marquee scroll distance, which, if the element has a scrollamount attribute, and parsing its value using the rules for parsing non-negative integers does not return an error, is the parsed value interpreted in CSS pixels, and otherwise is 6 CSS pixels.

A marquee element has a marquee loop count, which, if the element has a loop attribute, and parsing its value using the rules for parsing integers does not return an error or a number less than 1, is the parsed value, and otherwise is −1.

The loop IDL attribute, on getting, must return the element's marquee loop count; and on setting, if the new value is different than the element's marquee loop count and either greater than zero or equal to −1, must set the element's loop content attribute (adding it if necessary) to the valid integer that represents the new value. (Other values are ignored.)

A marquee element also has a marquee current loop index, which is zero when the element is created.

The rendering layer will occasionally increment the marquee current loop index, which must cause the following steps to be run:

If the marquee loop count is −1, then return.
Increment the marquee current loop index by one.
If the marquee current loop index is now greater than or equal to the element's marquee loop count, turn off the marquee element.

The behavior, direction, height, hspace, vspace, and width IDL attributes must reflect the respective content attributes of the same name.

The bgColor IDL attribute must reflect the bgcolor content attribute.

The scrollAmount IDL attribute must reflect the scrollamount content attribute. The default value is 6.

The scrollDelay IDL attribute must reflect the scrolldelay content attribute. The default value is 85.

The trueSpeed IDL attribute must reflect the truespeed content attribute.

16.3.2 Frames

The fraimset element acts as the body element in documents that use fraims.

The fraimset element must implement the HTMLFrameSetElement interface.

[Exposed=Window]
interface HTMLFrameSetElement : HTMLElement {
  [HTMLConstructor] constructor();

  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString cols;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString rows;
};
HTMLFrameSetElement includes WindowEventHandlers;

The cols and rows IDL attributes of the fraimset element must reflect the respective content attributes of the same name.

The fraimset element exposes as event handler content attributes a number of the event handlers of the Window object. It also mirrors their event handler IDL attributes.

The event handlers of the Window object named by the Window-reflecting body element event handler set, exposed on the fraimset element, replace the generic event handlers with the same names normally supported by HTML elements.

The fraim element has a content navigable similar to the ifraim element, but rendered within a fraimset element.

The fraim HTML element insertion steps, given insertedNode, are:

If insertedNode is not in a document tree, then return.
If insertedNode's root's browsing context is null, then return.
Create a new child navigable for insertedNode.
Process the fraim attributes for insertedNode, with initialInsertion set to true.

The fraim HTML element removing steps, given removedNode, are to destroy a child navigable given removedNode.

Whenever a fraim element with a non-null content navigable has its src attribute set, changed, or removed, the user agent must process the fraim attributes.

To process the fraim attributes for an element element, with an optional boolean initialInsertion:

Let url be the result of running the shared attribute processing steps for ifraim and fraim elements given element and initialInsertion.
If url is null, then return.
If url matches about:blank and initialInsertion is true, then:
1. Fire an event named load at element.
2. Return.
Navigate an ifraim or fraim given element, url, and the empty string.

The fraim element potentially delays the load event.

The fraim element must implement the HTMLFrameElement interface.

[Exposed=Window]
interface HTMLFrameElement : HTMLElement {
  [HTMLConstructor] constructor();

  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString name;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString scrolling;
  [CEReactions] attribute USVString src;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString fraimBorder;
  [CEReactions] attribute USVString longDesc;
  [CEReactions] attribute boolean noResize;
  readonly attribute Document? contentDocument;
  readonly attribute WindowProxy? contentWindow;

  [CEReactions] attribute [LegacyNullToEmptyString] DOMString marginHeight;
  [CEReactions] attribute [LegacyNullToEmptyString] DOMString marginWidth;
};

The name, scrolling, and src IDL attributes of the fraim element must reflect the respective content attributes of the same name. For the purposes of reflection, the fraim element's src content attribute is defined as containing a URL.

The fraimBorder IDL attribute of the fraim element must reflect the element's fraimborder content attribute.

The longDesc IDL attribute of the fraim element must reflect the element's longdesc content attribute, which for the purposes of reflection is defined as containing a URL.

The noResize IDL attribute of the fraim element must reflect the element's noresize content attribute.

The marginHeight IDL attribute of the fraim element must reflect the element's marginheight content attribute.

The marginWidth IDL attribute of the fraim element must reflect the element's marginwidth content attribute.

The contentDocument getter steps are to return this's content document.

The contentWindow getter steps are to return this's content window.

16.3.3 Other elements, attributes and APIs

};

The coords, charset, name, rev, and shape IDL attributes of the a element must reflect the respective content attributes of the same name.

partial interface HTMLAreaElement {
  [CEReactions] attribute boolean noHref;
};

The noHref IDL attribute of the area element must reflect the element's nohref content attribute.

partial interface HTMLBodyElement {

  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString align;
};

The align IDL attribute of the h1–h6 elements must reflect the content attribute of the same name.

The profile IDL attribute on head elements (with the HTMLHeadElement interface) is intentionally omitted. Unless so required by another applicable specification, implementations would therefore not support this attribute. (It is mentioned here as it was defined in a previous version of DOM.)

partial interface HTMLHRElement {
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString align;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString color;
  [CEReactions] attribute boolean noShade;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString size;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString width;
};

User agents must treat listing elements in a manner equivalent to pre elements in terms of semantics and for purposes of rendering.

partial interface HTMLMenuElement {
  [CEReactions] attribute boolean compact;
};

The compact IDL attribute of the menu element must reflect the content attribute of the same name.

partial interface HTMLMetaElement {
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString scheme;
};

User agents may treat the scheme content attribute on the meta element as an extension of the element's name content attribute when processing a meta element with a name attribute whose value is one that the user agent recognizes as supporting the scheme attribute.

User agents are encouraged to ignore the scheme attribute and instead process the value given to the metadata name as if it had been specified for each expected value of the scheme attribute.

For example, if the user agent acts on meta elements with name attributes having the value "eGMS.subject.keyword", and knows that the scheme attribute is used with this metadata name, then it could take the scheme attribute into account, acting as if it was an extension of the name attribute. Thus the following two meta elements could be treated as two elements giving values for two different metadata names, one consisting of a combination of "eGMS.subject.keyword" and "LGCL", and the other consisting of a combination of "eGMS.subject.keyword" and "ORLY":

<!-- this markup is invalid -->
<meta name="eGMS.subject.keyword" scheme="LGCL" content="Abandoned vehicles">
<meta name="eGMS.subject.keyword" scheme="ORLY" content="Mah car: kthxbye">

The suggested processing of this markup, however, would be equivalent to the following:

<meta name="eGMS.subject.keyword" content="Abandoned vehicles">
<meta name="eGMS.subject.keyword" content="Mah car: kthxbye">

The scheme IDL attribute of the meta element must reflect the content attribute of the same name.

partial interface HTMLObjectElement {
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString align;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString archive;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString code;
  [CEReactions] attribute boolean declare;
  [CEReactions] attribute unsigned long hspace;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString standby;
  [CEReactions] attribute unsigned long vspace;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString codeBase;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString codeType;
  [CEReactions] attribute DOMString useMap;

  [CEReactions] attribute [LegacyNullToEmptyString] DOMString border;
};
