<NOBR> is not approved by the W3C.
----------------------------------

                 Key: OFBIZ-335
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-335
             Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jacques Le Roux
         Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux
            Priority: Minor


We claim to be approved by W3C. By chance when using Tidy (actually HTML validator plugin in Firefox) I found this

The following tag is not a standard HTML tag. For most tags, the reason is that there is other ways to achieve the same result with standard tags or with cascaded style sheet.
Solution:

Replace the tag with the equivalent in standard HTML.
Sample:

<NOBR> is not approved by the W3C.

<NOBR> turns off wordwrapping between the start and end NOBR tag,

There are several ways to replace a NOBR by standard tag :
- You can use the nowrap attribute of the TR and TD tag in a table. In that case, the <BR> element to force line breaks where desired.

- The best solution is to use a cascaded style sheet with the attribute: "white-space: nowrap;".

BAD   <nobr>there is no wrapping here</nobr>
GOOD  <table><tr><td nowrap>there is no wrapping here</td></tr></table>
GOOD  <span style="white-space: nowrap;">there is no wrapping here</span>

David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-335:
--------------------------------------

It isn't correct to say that "we claim to be approved by W3C". In fact, the only reason we have the validation links around is to get people to click on them and send in patches to fix the problems they find...

So, yeah, that's the direction for this issue...
