Deprecated attributes

Within an HTML tag, an attribute dictates certain aspects of an HTML element. Attributes are made up of a name and value pair; all tags support standard attributes. Every attribute that was unique to thetag is deprecated. While these attributes may work with the some versions of HTML, they will eventually be phased out. You should use CSS to adjust the dimensions and appearance of this element.
