Web Accessibility: Deprecated Elements
Avoid Deprecated Elements
When possible, avoid use of deprecated elements, as browsers may not support them in the future. Be aware that organizing pages so they are readable without style sheets may require use of deprecated elements, e.g., <FONT>, but they should be used with caution.
The following are elements that have been removed in HTML 4.0 and recommended alternatives:
| Removed |
Recommended Alternative |
| <APPLET> |
<OBJECT> |
| <BASEFONT>, <CENTER>, <FONT>, <STRIKE>, <U> for formatting |
Use style sheets for these formatting effects. |
| <DIR>, <MENU> to define lists |
Use list elements such as <UL> or <OL> and style sheets to refine the formatting. |
| <ISINDEX>, for simple input |
Use an <INPUT> element within a <FORM>. |
| <LISTING>, <PLAINTEXT>, <XMP> for formatting fixed-width text |
Use <PRE> |
