Summary
<spacer>
is an HTML element which is used for inserting white spaces to web pages. It was created by NetScape for achieving same effect as a single-pixel layout GIF image, which was something web designers used to use to add white spaces to web pages, without actually using a GIF. However <spacer>
is not supported by any major browser and same effects can be created with various CSS rules. In Mozilla applications, support for this element was removed in {{gecko("2.0")}}. Therefore usage of <spacer>
is unnecessary.
