True, but is there any reason for them to? Nearly nobody uses these devices and browsers (which are probably 7+ years old at this point, but most likely even more) and they don't get updates at all. It's impossible to move forward and use modern frameworks and technologies while also supporting these devices, so all web developers don't support these at all.

Wix, which I once used, does depending on what you count as invalid HTML. Wix pages also don't support old browsers and aren't ‘handheld friendly’.
wix definitely creates valid HTML lol?? otherwise the websites wouldn't work?
Most browsers can read invalid HTML but this isn't an excuse.

Using a website maker is the worst thing you can do. You learn nothing and many of them create invalid HTML.

None of which are invalid. They greatly increase backwards compatibility and are much easier than their CSS alternatives.

These aren't invalid - they're supported by even the oldest browsers.

Just because its valid doesn't mean it's good. Take using the center and marque elements for example.

As PPPDUD and I said, no alternative properly supports old browsers.

You shouldn't worry about old browser support as they are old.

all browsers will accept this, because html parsers have to accept mistakes like these. it'll just close both tags whenever it can, doesn't mean it works correctly
