geethalakshmi Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi, i often see some tags are marked as deprecated after some version of HTML. If we use them in our pages what would happen? will they work or not? regards geetha tofocus.info www.qwertyuiop.in Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/105913-what-would-happen-if-we-use-deprecated-tags/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycharliente Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 They may or may not still be supported. It just depends on what the coders of the browser decided to do when they made it. For example, <b> and <i> still work on most browsers, but <strong> and <em> are the new tags. For the most part, they should still work (the whole back-wards compatible thing), but you might see funny things happen in some browsers. I wouldn't go around using them like they are the best option. You should upgrade to better supported tags IMO.

soycharliente Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Always stay away from depreciated script/html. You read that word as depreciated too? I always say depreciated out loud and people are like, "Depreciated? What? You mean deprecated?"
