Summary

<spacer> is an HTML element which is used for inserting white spaces to web pages. It is created by NetScape for achieving same effect with single-pixel layout GIF, which was something web designers used to use putting white spaces to web pages, without actually using GIF. However <spacer> is not supported by any major browser and same effects can be created with various CSS rules. Therefore usage of <spacer> is unnecessary.

Attributes

Like all other HTML elements, this element supports the global attributes.

{{ htmlattrdef("type") }}
This attribute determines type of spacer. Possible values are horizontal, vertical and block.
{{ htmlattrdef("size") }}
This attribute can be used for defining size of spacer in pixels when type is horizontal or vertical.
{{ htmlattrdef("width") }}
This attribute can be used for defining width of spacer in pixels when type is block.
{{ htmlattrdef("height") }}
This attribute can be used for defining height of spacer in pixels when type is block.
{{ htmlattrdef("align") }}
This attribute determines alignment of spacer. Possible values are left, right and center.
 

Example

<span>Just a text node</span>
<spacer type="horizontal" size="10"></spacer>
<span>Just another text node</span>
<spacer type="block" width="10" height="10"></spacer>
