Details

The onerror attribute is marked as deprecated. However, I don't understand why.

Image loading errors sections does not contain any notes about it. Internet searches also came to nothing. This is confusing.

@teoli2003 as per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Img#browser_compatibility the onerror is marked as deprecated for the img element - can you answer why?
I'm asking you because you added this data in mdn/browser-compat-data#388

It is also shown as deprecated in caniuse but that could just be a data copy from MDN

My PR to remove the deprecation flag from onerror was just merged, this can (finally!) be closed. Our long national global nightmare is over.

(And in fact, the MDN <img> page is already updated!)

Thanks, @ferdnyc for your contribution and persistence to get this fixed. Closing this one because the related browser-compact-data PR is merged.
