It’s good that you posted links rather then just quoting tutorials or worse not quoting them...
I never understood why you can find 1000s of tutorials about HTML but you are lucky to find 5 good ones about actual programming.
Anyways if I made the post I would have put...
QUOTE
You will learn how to create frames from a real example. You'll see how to create a borderless frame, how to specify the target frame, etc. -> How to build FRAMES?

Follow a few easy steps to add sound to your web pages. -> How to add sound to a web page?

Reasons why not to use frames. --> How to stop using FRAMES?

Why sound is annoying. --> Don’t use it or at least make an off button and have it default off.

Other then that they are good tutorials as long as new programmers know that it is not always cool to load up their site with un-necessary effects. Which is probably the more important then HTML itself.

My Opinion,
Sparkx

I'm another product of W3Schools tutorials. I figure we need more sites like that on any number of nonprogramming topics wink.gif Anyway, a newer resource for learning and reference for html is reference.sitepoint.com/html. It hasn't been around for nearly as long as w3schools has, but it is an excellent reference. Sitepoint also has a great reference for CSS at reference.sitepoint.com/css.

In my opinion the Best way to Learn HTML is by using a Web Page Designing Program such as Dreamweaver, and using both the HTML only mode along with the visual creation mode. So when you input an object in the Visual Mode you can see the HTML behind it. You can learn simple HTML along with advanced coding by doing it that way. Also, since newer Web Design Programs also set up pages with CSS, you can learn a bit of Cascade Styling as well. I don't know if anyone else learned HTML in this method, but its how I learned what I have and none of my Pages look to bad. Also, when I used to like Nav Bars and other Java Acript Apps, I would copy the codes from Tutorial sites and then try to configure the Navigation Bars to look good on my site and as I did this through the script, it helped me to pcik up a bit of coding also.

Not a terrible way to pick up tips, but I wouldn't recommend beginning the learning process that way.

The most obvious downside to learning this way is that you have to have an expensive piece of software to begin with. One great strength of HTML is precisely that you don't need extra software to use it.

Even if you do have the software in place, programs like Dreamweaver (and especially programs like FrontPage!) don't always use the best HTML practices. They're already bending over backward trying to interpret what you're doing visually, and good code is sometimes a casualty.

A third downside to learning that way is that you don't get a very in-depth understanding of the markup language. You can try the things you think about and see how Dreamweaver interprets it, but a good tutorial might show you things html can do that you hadn't been thinking about. By running through tutorials at W3Schools or Sitepoint, you're less likely to run up against things as you go that you don't know how to deal with (that happens often enough as it is!).

My advise to a beginner is to stick with the tutorials as a starting point. Once you have a good understanding of tags and good practice, you can use LegallyHigh's method as a way to solidify what you already know, especially if you come at it with a critical eye to spot things the program may be doing wrong. For that matter, you can do the same with websites you see online. Open up the code and try to figure out what they're trying to do (sucessfully and unsuccessfully). Or in both instances, look at the display and figure out how you would code it, then see how the HTML differs from your idea and decide who has the better idea.
