I highly recommend HTML Goodies. They've got great tutorials...Dalton wrote:Nothing like personal helpbrothersinarm wrote:Thanks Dalton. You've really helped me.

Go to www.w3c.org . A bit technical, but the technical references will teach you to make proper HTML. That's where I learned it.
A good editor for HTML is Programmer's Notepad, at www.pnotepad.org. Has syntax highlighting for many languages- for web dev, HTML, CSS, Javascript. On linux I use Emacs (can't find anything else that's user-friendly- VI is shit. However Emacs is bloat for a TEXT editor. I'll probably get XEmacs sometime later.)
Using OpenOffice to make web pages sucks. It still saves stuff in HTML 3.2.
Notepad is a piece of shit. Can't open anything larger than 100KB (they fixed that I think), no support for unix text files -converting is annoying, since you can easily fuck up other files if you use wildcards.
Remember to validate your web pages at w3c.org. However keep in mind that all because it's valid does not mean it'll work in everything. Example would be IE not supporting the CSS position:fixed property, forcing an annoying workaround or the use of frames.
Isn't netscape composer based off of the mozilla one, which is decent, and which I would be using if it had line numbering and syntax highlighting?

Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

I don't think HTML Goodies is 100% standards compliant. Another good place is devedge.netscape.com. It's also a good place to look up Javascript, since they developed it, although I don't know about MS's JScript compliance with JS 1.5. I'm trying to learn it now though Netscape's guide isn't really done in a nice order, that I'm used to from C++ books.
What pisses me off- in File Types under windows, HTML documents are called "Microsoft HTML 4.0 document" or some tripe like that. Apparently they think they are the standards body.
Microsoft is not the only shitter here, everyone else seems to do it, like Winzip for example even though Pkzip developed the (shitty, Tar/Bzip2 is better) zip format. The thing is that the other companies don't "extend and embrace" standards though.
