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.
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".
Elements in the following list are entirely obsolete, and must not be used by authors:
applet
acronym
Use abbr
instead.
bgsound
Use audio
instead.
dir
Use ul
instead.
frame
frameset
noframes
Either use iframe
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
menuitem
To implement a custom context menu, use script to handle the contextmenu
event.
nextid
Use GUIDs instead.
noembed
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.

marquee
elementThe 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;
attribute EventHandler onbounce;
attribute EventHandler onfinish;
attribute EventHandler onstart;
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.
When a marquee
element is created, the user agent must queue an element
task on the DOM manipulation task source given the marquee
element to fire an event named start
at the element.
The behavior
content attribute on marquee
elements is an enumerated attribute with
the following keywords (all non-conforming):
Keyword | State |
---|---|
scroll
| scroll |
slide
| slide |
alternate
| alternate |
The missing value default and invalid value default are the scroll state.
The direction
content attribute on marquee
elements is an enumerated attribute with the following keywords (all
non-conforming):
Keyword | State |
---|---|
left
| left |
right
| right |
up
| up |
down
| down |
The missing value default and invalid value default are 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 equal to or greater than the element's
marquee loop count, turn off the
marquee
element and queue an element task on the DOM
manipulation task source given the marquee
element to fire an event named finish
at the marquee
element.
Otherwise, if the behavior
attribute is in the
alternate state, then queue an
element task on the DOM manipulation task source given the
marquee
element to fire an event named
bounce
at the marquee
element.
Otherwise, queue an element task on the DOM manipulation task
source given the marquee
element to fire
an event named start
at the
marquee
element.
The following are the event handlers (and their corresponding event handler event types) that must be supported,
as event handler content attributes and event handler IDL attributes, by
marquee
elements:
Event handler | Event handler event type |
---|---|
onbounce | bounce
|
onfinish | finish
|
onstart | start
|
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.
The frameset
element acts as the body element in
documents that use frames.
The frameset
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 frameset
element must reflect the respective
content attributes of the same name.
The frameset
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
frameset
element, replace the generic event handlers with the same names
normally supported by HTML elements.
The frame
element has a nested browsing context
similar to the iframe
element, but rendered within a frameset
element.
A frame
element is said to be an active frame
element when
it is in a document.
When a frame
element element is created as an active
frame
element, or becomes an active frame
element
after not having been one, the user agent must run these steps:
Create a new nested browsing context for element.
Process the frame
attributes for element, with initialInsertion set to true.
When a frame
element stops being an active frame
element, the user agent must discard
the element's nested browsing context, and then set the element's nested
browsing context to null.
Whenever a frame
element with a non-null nested browsing context has
its src
attribute set, changed, or removed, the
user agent must process the frame
attributes.
To process the frame
attributes for an element element, with
an optional boolean initialInsertion:
If initialInsertion is true, then do nothing.
Otherwise, run the otherwise steps for iframe
or frame
elements given element.
The frame
element potentially delays the load event.
The frame
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 frameBorder;
[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 frame
element must reflect the respective content attributes of
the same name. For the purposes of reflection, the frame
element's src
content attribute is defined as containing a
URL.
The frameBorder
IDL attribute of the
frame
element must reflect the element's frameborder
content attribute.
The longDesc
IDL attribute of the
frame
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
frame
element must reflect the element's noresize
content attribute.
The contentDocument
IDL attribute,
on getting, must return the frame
element's content document.
The contentWindow
IDL attribute must
return the WindowProxy
object of the frame
element's nested
browsing context, if the element's nested browsing context is non-null, or
return null otherwise.
The marginHeight
IDL attribute of the
frame
element must reflect the element's marginheight
content attribute.
The marginWidth
IDL attribute of the
frame
element must reflect the element's marginwidth
content attribute.
User agents must treat acronym
elements in a manner
equivalent to abbr
elements in terms of semantics and
for purposes of rendering.

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.
