Java or javascript, while they may sound the same, they are completely different. One is a scripting language used mainly for the web, the other is a programming language to build applications.

 

HTML is really easy when you start to use CSS mostly. I have finally figure out how to use divisions <di> and let me tell you, it clear's up the whole page.

 

You can only get so far with HTML, then you have to start wondering into other areas, like javascript, and then more with PHP or ASP. Eventually, you can build anything (in time).

 

The source that has helped me through the way, is me really. I took apart loads of sites and saw how they worked. But for others, it might not work that way. So, your best bet is http://www.w3schools.com/ they have the most professional and clear way of describing the works.

Well, Destiny, I think you really don't know how well you are with HTML only because you just don't know exactly what are the boundaries of it. You see, HTML is not that big a language. I can safely bet you know at least 80% of it, since you say you learnt some of it. When it comes to HTML, some is usually much more than you think.

 

With that out of the way, let's talk about how you can make sure you're leaving nothing out. I agree with guy that the W3CSchools is a great learning Website, but it's geared mainly and mostly toward newbies. That's not you, I think.

 

If you ask me, I think you should go to the source itself. If you don't know, HTML's development is moderated by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). They are the ones that virtually make HTML. The newest (and final) HTML specification is HTML 4.01. You can find it at the following URL:

 

HTML 4.01 Specification

 

I admit it's not the most fun read you'll ever see, but it's certainly the most comprehensive. And quite frankly, if you just give yourself enough time for the first 4 chapters and not rush through them, you'll get by just fine.

 

Soon, I'm going to be talking some more about why HTML 4.01 is the final specification of HTML, and what is to follow. I trust you'll find some interesting info in that article, Destiny. But until then, I hope you'll do great in your HTML pursuit.

 

All the best,

Mernokh

I agree with most. Basic HTML is all you really need to know in order to build a great website. You can do a lot with HTML, but most of the time there's no need. CSS, Javascript, and PHP often are what make up the most of your website. For a basic, understandable tutorial for most web languages I was refered to http://www.htmlgoodies.com/. They have some advanced topics in HTML as well as tutorials in most scripting languages. I definately recommend that for tutorials. Almost always however, you'll need a reference in front of you when you go to code something up. Don't expect much with HTML alone. A lot of people use HTML and pure CSS and make really good websites. I suggest looking into that first. Then javascript to verify fields for your forms, and php/mysql if you need something more.

Well I would suggest http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ but that's not advanced... It's nice though, try it anyway.

A few websites
http://www.pageresource.com/html/
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/bxd/pox.html
http://internet.com/mobile/html5-for-the-mobile-web-canvas/

Just google a few sites about advanced HTML topics. What do you mean by advanced anyways? Frames, meta tags, and tables? Or are you talking about adding css/javascript/php etc? Perhaps if you stated what you wanted to accomplish with html, that would help some.

One thing that helped me pick up some of the things that I learned about HTML was to look at source code for sites with programming/design that I liked.I AM NOT saying that it's okay to steal someone else's programming/codes/ideas.But I AM saying, for example:When I was totally, thoroughly brand-new to HTML, I learned how to make text bold by looking at source codes. But I came up with my own text to bold.And any time I saw something cool (such as, "Wow - how'd they flush the picture to the right side of the screen?") I looked at the source code to see how in the world they did it. Which was helpful because I saw the effect and knew that it was basically what I wanted to try, instead of having to try a bunch of different things that seemed like they were what I wanted.

Recently, I have been taking the HTML tutorials to teach myself some HTML!! Yes, I was messing around with HTML in FrontPage (without even reading anything about HTML) and I just didn't get anything!! For example, I was wondering why there was <html> and what a tag even was.When I finally got a cheatsheet of HTML tags, I understood what the "tag" really meant. It was just a <something> like that. I don't think I understood "tag" until the last two months or so. Hahaha, boy, and I a NOOB!!But still, I think the primers there are a good bit of help to newbies. Of course, I am a newbie and I need lots of help. I will try the w3schools.com link sometime, but only when I have some freetime. These weeks... so much homework and tests!! We're slaves to work and money
