One of them is so far out of date that it's worthless now and the other is w3schools, which is (thankfully) always up to date. Edit: Forgot the .com on that.. lol Edited by Reid., Aug 29 2009, 07:07 PM.

But even now, they are basically telling your to define your styling in the HTML document (http://w3schools.com/html/html_styles.asp) - sure they use style="background: #123456;" instead of bgcolor="#123456" but that doesn't make it any better in my opinion. And the taglist (http://w3schools.com/tags/default.asp) should contain way more notices that things are depricated.

Pretty much everyone started out with black background websites with deprecated bold tags and the whatnot. It's the easiest way to learn is with simple concrete things. HTML works pretty much regardless of the browser. Sure, now a lot of HTML stuffs are deprecated and obsolete with CSS, but that's a whole new step. If you're looking to learn HTML, start with easy stuff and work your way up to understand what you're doing. It's easy to 'upgrade' your knowledge. It's hard to start out trying to figure out how to float lists to make a decent looking table. I've always found w3schools to be a good starting spot for almost anything. Get the basics down, and then start learning how to modify and get up-to-date with CSS.
