Semantic HTML | What Not To Use

I’m quoting from a presentation page on Semantic HTML that an author has on his site:

  • Removed or deprecated some elements
    • ISINDEX
    • APPLET
    • CENTER
    • FONT
    • BASEFONT
    • STRIKE
    • S
    • U
    • DIR
    • MENU

You see, semantically correct html is more than just mere correct structure, but what you use is also just as important. Old school, depreciated HTML tags are not semantical. For example, the CENTER tag. That stands for “CENTER the object”, right? Well, that in itself is presentational in nature – and therefore should be left to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to do.

That’s where semantics take place…
