HTML 5.1

11.1.1. Warnings for obsolete but conforming features

To ease the transition from HTML4 Transitional documents to the language defined in this specification, and to discourage certain features that are only allowed in very few circumstances, conformance checkers must warn the user when the following features are used in a document. These are generally old obsolete features that have no effect, and are allowed only to distinguish between likely mistakes (regular conformance errors) and mere vestigial markup or unusual and discouraged practices (these warnings).

The following features must be categorized as described above:

• The presence of an obsolete permitted DOCTYPE in an HTML document.

• The presence of a border attribute on an img element if its value is the string "0".

• The presence of a language attribute on a script element if its value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "JavaScript" and if there is no type attribute or there is and its value is an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "text/javascript".

• The presence of a name attribute on an a element, if its value is not the empty string.

• The presence of a maxlength attribute on an input element whose type attribute is in the Number state.

• The presence of a size attribute on an input element whose type attribute is in the Number state.

Conformance checkers must distinguish between pages that have no conformance errors and have none of these obsolete features, and pages that have no conformance errors but do have some of these obsolete features.

For example, a validator could report some pages as "Valid HTML" and others as "Valid HTML with warnings".

11.3. Requirements for implementations

11.3.1. The applet#elementdef-appletReferenced in:2.7.2.1. The HTMLAllCollection interface3.1.3. DOM tree accessors (2)6.2.4. Named access on the Window object (2)6.4. Sandboxing8.2.3.2. The stack of open elements (2)8.2.3.3. The list of active formatting elements10.4.1. Embedded content (2)10.4.3. Attributes for embedded content and images (2) (3) (4)11.2. Non-conforming features (2)11.3.1. The applet element (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs element

This feature is in the process of being removed from the Web platform. (This is a long process that takes many years.) Using the applet element at this time is highly discouraged.

The applet element is a Java-specific variant of the embed element. The applet element is now obsoleted so that all extension frameworks (Java, .NET, Flash, etc) are handled in a consistent manner.

When the element matches any of the following conditions, it represents its contents:

• The element is still in the stack of open elements of an HTML parser or XML parser.

• The element is not in a Document.

• The element’s node document is not fully active.

• The element’s node document’s active sandboxing flag set has its sandboxed plugins browsing context flag set.

• The element has an ancestor media element.

• The element has an ancestor object element that is not showing its fallback content.

• No Java Language runtime plugin is available.

• A Java runtime plugin is available but it is disabled.

Otherwise, the user agent should instantiate a Java Language runtime plugin, and should pass the names and values of all the attributes on the element, in the order they were added to the element, with the attributes added by the parser being ordered in source order, and then a parameter named "PARAM" whose value is null, and then all the names and values of parameters given by param elements that are children of the applet element, in tree order, to the plugin used. If the plugin supports a scriptable interface, the HTMLAppletElement object representing the element should expose that interface. The applet element represents the plugin.

The applet element is unaffected by the CSS display property. The Java Language runtime is instantiated even if the element is hidden with a 'display:none' CSS style.

The applet element must implement the HTMLAppletElement interface.

The marquee element is a presentational element that animates content. CSS transitions and animations are a more appropriate mechanism. [CSS3-ANIMATIONS] [CSS3-TRANSITIONS]

The task source for tasks mentioned in this section is the DOM manipulation task source.

The marquee element must implement the HTMLMarqueeElement interface.

interface HTMLMarqueeElement : HTMLElement {
  attribute DOMString behavior;
  attribute DOMString bgColor;
  attribute DOMString direction;
  attribute DOMString height;
  attribute unsigned long hspace;
  attribute long loop;
  attribute unsigned long scrollAmount;

  attribute boolean trueSpeed;
  attribute unsigned long vspace;
  attribute DOMString width;

  attribute EventHandler onbounce;
  attribute EventHandler onfinish;
  attribute EventHandler onstart;

  void start();
  void stop();
};

A marquee element can be turned on#turned-onReferenced in:10.5.11. The marquee element (2) (3) (4)11.3.2. The marquee element (2) or turned off#turned-offReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element (2). When it is created, it is turned on.

When the start()#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-startReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element method is called, the marquee element must be turned on.

When the stop()#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-stopReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element method is called, the marquee element must be turned off.

When a marquee element is created, the user agent must queue a task to fire a simple event named start at the element.

The behavior content attribute on marquee elements is an enumerated attribute with the following keywords (all non-conforming):

The missing value default is the scroll state.

The direction#element-attrdef-marquee-directionReferenced in:10.5.11. The marquee element content attribute on marquee elements is an enumerated attribute with the following keywords (all non-conforming):

The missing value default is the left state.

The truespeed content attribute on marquee elements is a boolean attribute.

A marquee element has a marquee scroll interval#marquee-scroll-intervalReferenced in:10.5.11. The marquee element11.3.2. The marquee element, which is obtained as follows:

1. If the element has a scrolldelay attribute, and parsing its value using the rules for parsing non-negative integers does not return an error, then let delay be the parsed value. Otherwise, let delay be 85.

2. If the element does not have a truespeed attribute, and the delay value is less than 60, then let delay be 60 instead.

3. The marquee scroll interval is delay, interpreted in milliseconds.

A marquee element has a marquee scroll distance#marquee-marquee-scroll-distanceReferenced in:10.5.11. The marquee element, which, if the element has a scrollamount attribute, and parsing its value using the rules for parsing non-negative integers does not return an error, is the parsed value interpreted in CSS pixels, and otherwise is 6 CSS pixels.

A marquee element has a marquee loop count#marquee-loop-countReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element (2) (3) (4), which, if the element has a loop content attribute, and parsing its value using the rules for parsing integers does not return an error or a number less than 1, is the parsed value, and otherwise is -1.

The loop#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-loopReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element IDL attribute, on getting, must return the element’s marquee loop count; and on setting, if the new value is different than the element’s marquee loop count and either greater than zero or equal to -1, must set the element’s loop content attribute (adding it if necessary) to the valid integer that represents the new value. (Other values are ignored.)

A marquee element also has a marquee current loop index#marquee-current-loop-indexReferenced in:10.5.11. The marquee element (2)11.3.2. The marquee element (2), which is zero when the element is created.

The rendering layer will occasionally increment the marquee current loop index#increment-the-marquee-current-loop-indexReferenced in:10.5.11. The marquee element (2) (3), which must cause the following steps to be run:

1. If the marquee loop count is -1, then abort these steps.

2. Increment the marquee current loop index by one.

3. If the marquee current loop index is now equal to or greater than the element’s marquee loop count, turn off the marquee element and queue a task to fire a simple event named finish at the marquee element.

   Otherwise, if the behavior attribute is in the alternate state, then queue a task to fire a simple event named bounce at the marquee element.

   Otherwise, queue a task to fire a simple event named start at the marquee element.

The following are the event handlers (and their corresponding event handler event types) that must be supported, as event handler content attributes and event handler IDL attributes, by marquee elements:

The behavior#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-behaviorReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element, direction#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-directionReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element, height#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-heightReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element, hspace#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-hspaceReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element, vspace#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-vspaceReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element, and width#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-widthReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element IDL attributes must reflect the respective content attributes of the same name.

The bgColor#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-bgcolorReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element IDL attribute must reflect the bgcolor content attribute.

The scrollAmount#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-scrollamountReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element IDL attribute must reflect the scrollamount content attribute. The default value is 6.

The scrollDelay#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-scrolldelayReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element IDL attribute must reflect the scrolldelay content attribute. The default value is 85.

The trueSpeed#dom-htmlmarqueeelement-truespeedReferenced in:11.3.2. The marquee element IDL attribute must reflect the truespeed content attribute.

11.3.3. Frames

The frameset#elementdef-framesetReferenced in:2.7.2.1. The HTMLAllCollection interface3.1.3. DOM tree accessors (2) (3) (4)6.2.4. Named access on the Window object (2)7.1.5.2. Event handlers on elements, Document objects, and Window objects (2) (3)8.2.3.1. The insertion mode8.2.3.2. The stack of open elements8.2.5.4.20. The "in frameset" insertion mode10.6. Frames and framesets (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)11.3.3. Frames (2) (3) (4) (5)11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs (2) element acts as the body element in documents that use frames.

The frameset element must implement the HTMLFrameSetElement interface.

interface HTMLFrameSetElement#htmlframesetelement-htmlframesetelementReferenced in:11.3.3. Frames : HTMLElement {
  attribute DOMString cols;
  attribute DOMString rows;
};
HTMLFrameSetElement implements WindowEventHandlers;

The cols and rows IDL attributes of the frameset element must reflect the respective content attributes of the same name.

The frameset element exposes as event handler content attributes a number of the event handlers of the Window object. It also mirrors their event handler IDL attributes.

The onblur, onerror, onfocus, onload, onresize, and onscroll event handlers of the Window object, exposed on the frameset element, replace the generic event handlers with the same names normally supported by html elements.

The frame#elementdef-frameReferenced in:2.7.2.1. The HTMLAllCollection interface8.2.3.2. The stack of open elements8.3. Serializing HTML fragments10.3.2. The page10.6. Frames and framesets (2) (3) (4) (5)11.2. Non-conforming features (2)11.3.3. Frames (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) (25) element defines a nested browsing context similar to the iframe element, but rendered within a frameset element.

A frame element is said to be an active frame element when it is in a Document.

When a frame element is created as an active frame element, or becomes an active frame element after not having been one, the user agent must create a nested browsing context, and then process the frame attributes for the first time.

When a frame element stops being an active frame element, the user agent must discard the nested browsing context.

Whenever a frame element with a nested browsing context has its src attribute set, changed, or removed, the user agent must process the frame attributes.

When the user agent is to process the frame attributes#process-the-frame-attributesReferenced in:11.3.3. Frames (2) (3) (4), it must run the first appropriate steps from the following list:

If the element has no src attribute specified, and the user agent is processing the frame’s attributes for the first time

Queue a task to fire a simple event named load at the frame element.

Otherwise

1. If the value of the src attribute is the empty string, let url be the string "about:blank".

   Otherwise, resolve the value of the src attribute, relative to the frame element.

   If that is not successful, then let url be the string "about:blank". Otherwise, let url be the resulting absolute URL.

2. Navigate the element’s child browsing contextto url.

Any navigation required of the user agent in the process the frame attributes algorithm must be completed as an explicit self-navigation override and with the frame element’s node document’s browsing context as the source browsing context.

Furthermore, if the active document of the element’s child browsing context before such a navigation was not completely loaded at the time of the new navigation, then the navigation must be completed with replacement enabled.

Similarly, if the child browsing context’s session history contained only one Document when the process the frame attributes algorithm was invoked, and that was the about:blank Document created when the child browsing context was created, then any navigation required of the user agent in that algorithm must be completed with replacement enabled.

When a Document in a frame is marked as completely loaded, the user agent must queue a task to fire a simple event named load at the frame element.

The task source for the tasks above is the DOM manipulation task source.

When a frame element’s nested browsing context’s active document is not ready for post-load tasks, and when anything is delaying the load event of the frame element’s browsing context’s active document, and when the frame element’s browsing context is in the delaying load events mode, the frame must delay the load event of its document.

When the browsing context is created, if a name attribute is present, the browsing context name must be set to the value of this attribute; otherwise, the browsing context name must be set to the empty string.

Whenever the name attribute is set, the nested browsing context’s name must be changed to the new value. If the attribute is removed, the browsing context name must be set to the empty string.

The frame element must implement the HTMLFrameElement interface.

  attribute DOMString name;

User agents may treat the scheme content attribute on the meta element as an extension of the element’s name content attribute when processing a meta element with a name attribute whose value is one that the user agent recognizes as supporting the scheme attribute.

User agents are encouraged to ignore the scheme attribute and instead process the value given to the metadata name as if it had been specified for each expected value of the scheme attribute.

The attributes of the Document object listed in the first column of the following table must reflect the content attribute on the body element with the name given in the corresponding cell in the second column on the same row, if the body element is a body element (as opposed to a frameset element). When there is no body element or if it is a frameset element, the attributes must instead return the empty string on getting and do nothing on setting.

The anchors#dom-document-anchorsReferenced in:11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs attribute must return an HTMLCollection rooted at the Document node, whose filter matches only a elements with name attributes.

The applets#dom-document-appletsReferenced in:11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs attribute must return an HTMLCollection rooted at the Document node, whose filter matches only applet elements.

The clear()#dom-document-clearReferenced in:11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs, captureEvents()#dom-document-captureeventsReferenced in:11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs, and releaseEvents() methods must do nothing.

The all#dom-document-allReferenced in:11.3.4. Other elements, attributes and APIs attribute must return an HTMLAllCollection rooted at the Document node, whose filter matches all elements.

The object returned for all has several unusual behaviors:

• The user agent must act as if the ToBoolean() operator in JavaScript converts the object returned for all to the false value.

• The user agent must act as if, for the purposes of the == and != operators in JavaScript, the object returned for all compares as equal to the undefined and null values. (Comparisons using the === operator, and comparisons to other values such as strings or objects, are unaffected.)

• The user agent must act such that the typeof operator in JavaScript returns the string undefined when applied to the object returned for all.

These requirements are a willful violation of the JavaScript specification current at the time of writing (ECMAScript edition 6). The JavaScript specification requires that the ToBoolean() operator convert all objects to the true value, and does not have provisions for objects acting as if they were undefined for the purposes of certain operators. This violation is motivated by a desire for compatibility with two classes of legacy content: one that uses the presence of document.all as a way to detect legacy user agents, and one that only supports those legacy user agents and uses the document.all object without testing for its presence first.
