From the opening page:
"All HTML tags are enclosed within < > brackets."
You mean HTML element. If you are talking about HTML the first thing you
should introduce is the concept of the HTML element.
"Almost all HTML commands ..."
There are no HTML commands. HTML doesn't *do* anything.
"In using opening tags it will causes[sic] all the text and graphics that
entered after it to be affected."
Nope. "The content of the HTML element is affected by the attributes
suggested in the elements opening tag, plus whatever stylesheet rules select
that element" would better express whatever you are trying to say.
"These results from the code will stay active until a closing tag is placed
on the entry".
Wrong. Closing tags are, in HTML, often optional. Plus, this sort of
statement implies the invalid use of incorrectly nested elements, as in
<b>bold<i>bold italic</b>italic</i> (to use a deprecated example). Such
misleading statements often arise because the author has mis-interpreted
what HTML is about and has fallen into the "command" mindset. There are no
"commands" in HTML. There is no "code" in HTML. There elements, tags,
attributes and attribute values.
"The browsers that you use on your PC"
What if I am using a mac? A Sun Sparkstation? A telephone? This *is* the
twenty first century
"The best browsers I have come across are those of the Internet Explorer
Series"
IE is one of the most badly designed browsers in common use. The only reason
to use it is to ensure a design does not inadvertently break for the 80% of
sheep out there who use it.
"There is and upgraded version about every 6 months"
Not any more there isn't.
The HTML in this page: Table soup.
The CSS in this page: Hardly anything, just a bunch of 'background colour'
rules. Speaking of CSS why are there no "CSS resources" listed anywhere on
the site?
If you are going to present yourself as an expert go a group of people who
are probably themselves experts and in many cases professionals then you
must get your information and terminology correct.
I would recommend this site as something to peruse to find out what *not* to
do. If the information presented in the links on this site are of the same
standard as the site itself then I would recommend them to be used for the
same purpose.
It would be better for somebody seeking information to ignore this site and
ask here. At least here any wrong answers are quickly corrected by those who
actually *know* the answers.
