How come YouTube, facebook, and all the others of embedable videos don’t use
style=“border:0;” instead of frameborder=“0”?
If frameborder is obsolete wouldn’t all major companies follow that rule?

I directed my question to YouTube, let’s see if I get a reply back.
Google is not the best at having valid HTML - they don’t need to be.

How come frameborder is obsolete anyway if millions upon millions of people are using it? Anyone who embeds a video uses it.
“border” (shorthand) is a unit of length (thickness)
Is either a non-negative explicit value or a keyword denoting the thickness of the border area of a box.
“frameborder” is/was a boolean - true or false

frameborder HTML 4 only
The value 1 (the default) tells the browser to draw a border between this frame and every other frame. The value 0 tells the browser not to draw a border between this frame and other frames.
Because they don’t know any better and it doesn’t cause any obvious problem?
Not everyone, when I get embed code from Youtube or the likes, I remove all that obsolete, invalid stuff.
