THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO CSS AND HTML WEB DESIGN
396
A XHTML REFERENCE
This section of the reference guide details, in alphabetical order, generally
supported elements and associated attributes. This is not intended as an
exhaustive guide; rather, its aim is to list those elements important and
relevant to current web design. Archaic deprecated elements such as font
and layer are therefore ignored, as well as many attributes once associated
with the body element, but the guide includes still occasionally useful
deprecated and nonstandard elements and attributes such as embed and
target.
Standard attributes
Standard attributes are common to many elements. For brevity, they are listed in full here
rather than in the XHTML element table later in the chapter. For each element in the forthcoming
table, I simply state which groups of standard attributes are applicable to the element.
Core attributes
