Yes, that is annoying. It's always at the top of the search result.
w3schools has no relationship with the w3c. It is not the most
reliable source of information.

Starting tutorials for a working draft in progress sounds like a bad idea.

With advertisement bringing in money, it seems that SEO might take
priority over properly educating web developers.

The fact that the comp.lang.javascript FAQ links to it doesn't help.

[whatwg] In correct HTML 5 tutorials

2008-08-30 Thread Biju [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.w3schools.com/ is a very popular tutorial site.
They have already started tutorials for HTML5
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5.asp

I see errors
at http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5_video.asp
and http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5_audio.asp

autoplay ==> true | false
controls ==> true | false

As far as I know autoplay="false"
also means enable autoplay in firefox.

I wish somebody contact them to correct those and other errors.

Otherwise people start using autoplay="false" to disable autoplay.
and some vendors will start supporting that.
while others will go by w3 standards

Which in turn will bring trouble to user who surf the site
using a browser which is not the one used by the web developer.
