[WSG] The mother of all html references?
I've been using this online html reference (http://www.htmlreference.com/) for the past 6 months or so, and so far it's been fine. Can anyone recommend another on-line reference that they prefer so I can take a look? Cole

I use http://www.w3schools.com/a lot. It has a lot of stuff on it for HTML, CSS, even ASP etc. - Original Message - From: Cole Kuryakin - x7m Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 2:02 PM I've been using this online html reference (http://www.htmlreference.com/) for the past 6 months or so, and so far it's been fine.

No, htmlreference.com is full of deprecated elements and attributes. Half of stuff they describe is outdated and on the do-not-use list, examples use presentational HTML, and CSS section seems to be limited to stuff that works in NN4.

Cole Molly Holzschlag and Dave Shea both have posted blog entries soliciting such resources and the 100 or so comments offer up a pretty good selection: http://www.molly.com/2005/01/30/outdated-html-guides/#comments http://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/08/25/standards_re/comments/ They include a lot of CSS references, but the good HTML references are in there too.

There's a section on the WSG website for this: http://webstandardsgroup.org/go/resourcecat2.cfm One that's missing, which I use from time to time (I downloaded the XHTML and CSS references) is www.zvon.org It even shows which elements and attributes are appropriate for each DTD (and I use strict 99.9% of the time) Regards -- Bert Doorn, Better Web Design http://www.betterwebdesign.com.au/ Fast-loading, user-friendly websites ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

On my windows machine I use XML Standards Library (http://xmlstds.xemantics.com/) - which is basically a CHM file that contains the specs brought down from w3c.org. You also get to grab only the specs that you need (just in case specs such as OWL Web Ontology Language Guide isn't your sorta thing :^) ).On 5/4/05, Bob Kelly Crispen - Web Builders' Toolkit [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:The voices are telling me Kornel Lesinski said on 5/3/2005 8:41 AM: Can anyone recommend another on-line reference that they prefer so I cantake a look? www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/Yup, the truth is in the specs.Everything else is approximate.It'sworth your time (imho) to iterate through the specs a few times so youcan understand what they're trying to tell you.I also have a copy of http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ because the XHTML spec is kind of terseabout the old HTML elements.I even keep a copy of the Level 1 and 2 DOM specs around (you can find all these documents on http://www.w3.org/TR/).The DOM specs,especially Level 1, look at first like somebody dropped them on the wayto the printer and picked up the pages in the wrong order, but eventually you'll learn how to access what's in there.--Bob CrispenWeb Builders' Toolkitweb dash toolkit at crispen dot orghttp://web-toolkit.crispen.org/ Don't think it's important to make your website accessible?One visitoreverybody wants to impress is Google.Google is totally blind.**The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **-- Cheers,Serdar Kilichttp://weblog.kilic.net/

I quite like the simplicity of http://htmlhelp.org/. It has a nice list of html 4.0 tags and you can hide deprecated ones. It also has a css reference, but unfortunately it's also not up to date.
