Answer from ariehen on forum.obsidian.mdVideos
I was learning HTML and CSS on w3schools. Two days ago I went to MDN and figured out that w3schools skipped some values for backgound-repeat, background-position, they also skipped some attributes for <li> element etc. They simplified some tutorials. How should I learn everything they skipped? What is the best web page? Should I start to read everything from first tutorial on MDN? Reading things that I learned seems like waste of time, but now I think that when I started to learn, I should choose better web page. Or maybe it is not mistake that I started to learn from w3schools? Maybe they skipped some things because they are not supported by all bowers?

- MSDN (HTML & CSS section)
- HTML 4.01 Reference
- WHATWG's HTML 5 Reference
W3Fools - A W3Schools Intervention also promotes the following "more reputable sources":
Opera Web Standards Curriculum covers the basics of web standards-based design in HTML and CSS.
Google's HTML, CSS, and Javascript from the Ground Up presents the basics of web development with video tutorials presented by Google's expert web developers.
SitePoint is a pretty good reference for HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Their documentation always mentions feature support across different browsers, and describes known browser bugs.
The W3C, itself, has a wiki-based general Learn page as well as an HTML element reference.
The MDN (Mozilla's Developer Network) takes over at intermediate CSS and covers JavaScript better than anyone.
The MDN is also a wiki (little known fact), which means we, as knowledgeable web developers, can add or change information so the pages are as effective and comprehensive as possible.
In general, my first stop for HTML, Javascript or DOM information is the MDC Doc Center from the Mozilla Developer Network. It is occasionally Firefox/Gecko-specific, but is in general a good first stop.
- HTML doc center
- Javascript doc center
- DOM doc center
Personally, I find the HTML spec (and even more the DOM spec) far to hard to take in quickly or to use as a quick reference. MDC is great for that.
