Default Re: html font tags in language-OK ??

Well see, you are missing the point. Coding to the current standard ensures that your site will display well in the newest browesrs (including the new version of IE coming out this winter). So no, the browsers WILL NOT have to deal with the old stuff, the people who write the old stuff will have to deal with the new browsers.

Also, cleaner coded web sites RANK better and load quicker which is the whole point. Take the time to learn the correct code or don't bother as it will just hurt you to use old, depreciated code.

align=center is a perfect example, that is depreciated code, which is why it won't center. The correct way to code that would either to assign a style to the h5 tag like this:

<h5 class="center"> and then define 'center' in your stylesheet

or

<h5 style="text-align: center;">

As you can tell, the first method uses less code so it is the preferred method.
