Please do so! :-) I encourage you to contact this site as well as any others and point out any mistakes you see.

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. > They have already started tutorials for HTML5 [snip links] Starting tutorials for a working draft in progress sounds like a bad idea. > I wish somebody contact them to correct those and other errors. > With advertisement bringing in money, it seems that SEO might take priority over properly educating web developers.

[whatwg] In correct HTML 5 tutorials
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.
