        You're closing a <TEXT> tag with a </FONT> tag? :(

          Heh - you editted that, you sneaky guy - I saw <FONT=MAROON> in Chrome, went to reply "Where's the TEXT element" and saw a TEXT tag on the reply page. Open the page in FireFox - see a TEXT tag - my reaction "What magic's the Dalek pulled to get Chrome and FF to display different text?" Of course, I refresh the Chrome page and see the TEXT tag - it was just a race condition all along. No wonder concurrency's difficult.

            Myself and a colleague were discussing a redesign of the company website, and floating a few ideas around, writing   a few skeletal formats and suggesting contents and navigation etc. I hastily banged out an example, and he was in agreement that is was clear, uncluttered and easily followed, then asked me ... "Why do you change the text colour by using <FONT COLOR=RED>?   Why not just type <TEXT="#FF0000">? I opened and shut my mouth like a bewildered goldfish then admitted that after years of doing it that way, I had forgotten about TEXT! Damn you HTML, Damn you all to hell! Is there a convincing reason for doing it via font rather than text or am I right in assuming I need my arse kicking?

                You certainly do - you should be using CSS and not relying on the FONT tag or the TEXT tag.

                      The font element was deprecated in HTML 4.01, and is not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD. HTML <font> Tag[^]\ It might be time for an old dog to learn a new trick. What's a deprecated tag / attribute?[^]

                        Just slip into a pair o' pink tight pants and comb your hair into retro style, wear a 70s jacket and a hollywood style very large sun shades (should cover half the face, fake gem stones on the sides will fetch bonus points).

                                    In 2009, you should not be using FONT tags. Mark up your content as headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and images, and then use CSS to style them. Remove all presentation code from the HTML markup. :)

                                      Well, I was handcoding using notepad, (a real man here, none of that web design nonsense!), but have decided that we will go over to ASP. This is an old website and originally written some years ago. I have never used ASP before, so I had to lose the 'Real Man' status and I downloaded Vis Web Dev Exp 2008. So, now it is being designed with more functionality, but as I am not 100% familiar with either ASP or VWD I am still tending to do things a little HTML-like and getting told off by intellisense. Ho Hum, I suppose learning is like that, still onward and ever upward!

                                        In 2009, you should not be using FONT tags. Mark up your content as headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and images, and then use CSS to style them. Remove all presentation code from the HTML markup. :)

                                        See my response to Anna (above), and you will see why my fingers are doing what they do! :)
