so how do you center that vertically?

I consider it only slightly less offensive than <blink> as being useless. I also find it incorrect from attempting to have the markup dictating the layout. Sure, this was before CSS was robust, but it is one of the reasons that I just had no problem with it going the way of the dodo.

The <blink> element has never been part of any HTML standard.

[dylan604]

your point? whether it was or wasn't has no bearing on its uselessness

I'm following on to another comment where someone uses a 20 year obsolete tag as an example of something.

[dylan604]

and how old do you think the <center> tag is?

[assimpleaspossi]

More than 20 years old but it doesn't matter. Use CSS and not an obsolete element.

Just checked. It was standardized in HTML 3.2. Deprecated in HTML 4 Made obsolete in HTML5
