I wonder what sort of things in a website (webpage) can be termed as Bad Elements and should be avoided.

I am hoping to get feedback on what you consider BAD in a webpage layout? Thank you for your time.

Did I post this thread in French or you guys don't understand what bad elements are in a web layout?

What sort of forum is this? Is it not a web design forum? Do you want me to post this in a celebrity chat or music forum? Amazing

Sorry, we're busy with the gaming thread. This might help.

depends on the webpage in question?? unless you're talking about obvious shit like blink tags and etc.

in reference to your first post, 'elements' implies content and 'layout' implies structure - what is it you're after? they're very different.

in reference to your second post, that implies bad attitude.

inserted goatse and meatspin graphics tend to lessen usability

You see, as web designers and developers we are typically busy. Your question, was vague and not very interesting... which probably produced the lack of a response.

Bad elements in a webpage:
frames, tables for layout, deprecated tags like font.... would you like more?

Actually I am looking to have a list of things that we should avoid in a web design. It is in reference to both content and structure. The link provided by cookie is helpful.

I was a bit rude in the second post due to no response from your end but I apologize.

Cheers!

A few off the top of my head: iframes, blinking text, really low contrast text, tables (for layout), stretched/pixelated images, body text as an image, small windows with scrollbars, non-descriptive links (like 'click here'), flash intros, in-line styling.
