The HTML spacer tag is dead. Here’s how I make space the no-code way

Negative space, or whitespace, is crucial in design for balance, focus, and legibility, and modern techniques like CSS and JavaScript have replaced the outdated HTML spacer tag to manage it effectively. The spacer tag's obsolescence began with the 2011 release of Firefox 4, which removed support for it, and today, web designers primarily use CSS modifications or no-code design tools like Webflow to add space. Webflow, a visual design tool, allows designers to create clean, efficient CSS by using features such as EM and REM units for responsive design, classes and combo classes for consistent styling, and Symbols for maintaining complex layouts. Div elements in Webflow can function similarly to the old spacer tag by creating invisible objects for space allocation, allowing for easy and efficient layout designs. As design systems evolve, these tools and techniques ensure websites remain adaptable and visually coherent across different devices and user interfaces.
