Basic and Advanced HTML
References and Resources Guide
New Html resources references and tutorials will be added regularly so bookmark this
HTML references and resources guide.
All of the HTML references and tutorials I have used to learn what little I know are
listed here. These sure helped me, they'll do the same for you. In some categories there
is a lot of information so I have added some comments to give you an idea of what is at
each site.
There used to be a fair collection of
programming resources and scripts for CGI, ASP, JavaScript etc. They
have now got their own page and only DHTML resources
remain here.

Info on the New Standardw3.org
Outline of the
new standard. Must reading!!

This
documents the changes to the current 3.2 standard. A few changes will render
some attributes and elements useless as they are being dropped from the
standard. If you don't want to have to go back and replace them it is best to
know which will be dropped and start working around them now. One of them is the
popular center tag. *note use <DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><CENTER>* This
will keep you up to date and will work in older browsers that don't support DIV.
They will ignore the tag they don't support.
