The fact that it can be /declared/ obsolete (as opposed to > technically /becoming/ it) pretty much says it all. :-( The problem is, browsers *must* support most obselete code as well, otherwise many older websites wouldn't work at all. However this does not change the fact, that some techniques *are* obsolete, because there *are* better ways which got introduced by HTML5, as for example semantic elements and by CSS as for example (flex-)grids. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
