How to solve this warning Type Attribute (cellpadding) is obsolete. Its use is discouraged in HTML5 documents
I am developing web application using tapestry. I am testing my application using junit test suite and generating war file and html reports, using ant build. In my html report files, I have the following warnings.
Multiple annotations found at this line:
- Attribute (width) is obsolete. Its use is discouraged in HTML5 documents.
- Attribute (cellpadding) is obsolete. Its use is discouraged in HTML5
documents.
- Undefined attribute value (0).
- Attribute (language) is obsolete. Its use is discouraged in HTML5 documents.
Following is my test and report generating code.
<target name="test" depends="compile" description="Running Test Suite">
<mkdir dir="${target.data.dir}"/>
<mkdir dir="${target.htmlreports.dir}"/>
<junit fork="no" haltonfailure="no" showoutput="yes" printsummary="true" >
<test name="${junit.class.name}" todir="${target.data.dir}"/>
<formatter type="brief" usefile="false"/>
<classpath refid="classpath.test"/>
<sysproperty key="ant.home" value="${ant.home}"/>
<formatter type="xml"/>
</junit>
<junitreport todir="${target.htmlreports.dir}">
<fileset dir="${target.data.dir}">
<include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
</fileset>
<report format="frames" todir="${target.htmlreports.dir}"/>
</junitreport>
</target>
This is my one of the html report file.

Please any one say how can I remove this warnings.
Answer
I face the same issue and i got the solution by using HTML 4.01 doc type instead HTML 5 doctype. these warning is only because of HTML5 validator
