Disablig deprecated HTML code

/ Published in: CSS
Save to your folder(s)
When handing over a project to the client, you sometimes loose control over the content HTML source. Sometimes the client uses a CMS that allows them to have full control over certain parts of the HTML, and sometimes the client simply uses your templates to insert their own HTML content in the document.
The idea is to preserve the natural cascade and inheritance in all browsers, while gracefully disabling the HTML we don’t want the client to use. That way the client will stop using it, simply because it doesn’t “work” anymore. A graceful and gentle way of guiding the client in the right direction.
