W3.org indicates several tags have been "deprecated" (superceded by a
newer generation tag/element, but still recognized by browsers for the
sake of backward compatibility) but not yet rendered "obsolete" (not
recognized at all by most modern browsers).
For all I can tell, the latest MSIE6 has rendered the element "bgcolor"
obsolete. The trend suggests these functions have been superceded by CSS
<Style> operators. All well and good, but if that's what has happened,
isn't it a bit premature of MSIE to be rendering long-standing HTML tags
and elements obsolete?
Lots of not-that-old web pages out there that will look like crap in IE6
if they weren't built around CSSs (guessing most were not).
No bgcolor=, no font color=, etc. I'd much rather hope my download of
IE6 is broken (though I've downloaded/installed three times now), or
some other freak damage has occured to it, than to believe MS would
purposefully program such a extraordinary reduction of functionality
into the latest IE browser.
Anybody esle having this problem?
