They are marked as "deprecated", which means you should not use them. There is a close to 1-1 correspondence between elements and attributes which are deprecated and elements and attributes which appear in the Transitional DTD but not the Strict DTD. You are presumably use the Strict DTD. The other attributes mentioned in your (snipped) example are proprietary vendor extensions which should be avoided. You should almost certainly remove every attribute from that body tag and use CSS instead (CSS can achieve all the effects you are gaining using the obsolete and non-standard attributes). -- David Dorward <http://blog.dorward.me.uk/> <http://dorward.me.uk/>
