Forbidden tags refer to HTML tags that are not allowed or supported by a certain web browser or web standard. These tags can cause errors or unexpected behavior in the display of a webpage.
Knowing which tags are forbidden can help ensure that your webpage displays correctly and consistently across different browsers and devices. It can also prevent potential issues and errors in your code.
It is generally recommended to avoid using forbidden tags in your HTML code. However, some tags may be allowed in certain situations or with certain workarounds. It is best to refer to the official documentation for the specific web browser or web standard you are working with.
Some common forbidden tags include <font>, <center>, and <strike>. These tags are often used for styling text, but have since been replaced with CSS for better web design practices.
Yes, there are usually alternative ways to achieve the same effect as forbidden tags using modern web design techniques such as CSS and JavaScript. It is recommended to use these more up-to-date methods for better compatibility and maintainability.
