Yes, that too, but for new pages that's more or less limited to some cases of align= where the results without it could be ugly. And of course <del> is "strictly" forbidden on pages claiming to be visible with any browser, <s><del> or <del><s> could do the trick. No new page really needs <u>, so that's fine. And new pages don't need <center> if they still could use <div align="center">. But as you said that's only less important presentational stuff. Actually I like good pages using CSS better than some horrible combinations of legacy markup and CSS. My browser ignores the CSS completely. Good pages still work, that's the idea, isn't it ? Only some name= and <del> are very critical. Bye, Frank
