Suggested website for an external link
I want to suggest my website located at http://www.landofcode.com/view/html/ for the external links section. It's relatively new, but has alot of information. The information is up to date and the content is well written.
I wanted to submit a tutorial that does a very thorough job at explaining html to someone who hasn't even looked at a programming language before

Would anyone think that davesite's interactive html tutorial is worthy of addition to the links list? Geekosaurus 17:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
HTMLQuick.com: site suggestion
Hi, I want to recomend this tutorials page. I'm the owner and I know how things are about web promotion, but I've been making this site for the last four months and I think it's a good resource. I hope you give it a look and read the content, given that I really tried to do my best to provide people with the information they need in an easy to understand way. Besides, I intend to update and correct it every time it's needed. If you think it can be a good resource for the readers of this article, please consider adding a link. The tutorials page is HTML tutorials. Thank you...
Can somebody answer my request please? Thank you...
I noticed some problems. There are some minor spelling errors (just bringing it up). You don't always need to close tags in XHTML ("OMITTAG NO" usually blocks it). Several rules on your XHTML page are very wrong:
<style type="text/css"> <!]> </style>
<style type="text/css"> <!--
p { color: blue; }--> </style>
I won't continue looking at your site. Jaxad0127 05:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Let me provide some corrections to the above corrections. Its a bit difficult to see what's coming from where without looking at the site side-by-side with the above commentary, so let me just list the corrections here.
- XHTML elements must alwyas be closed. Empty elements in XHTML can use the self-closing tag such as <br />, but the elements must be closed either that way or with an excplisit close tag.
- I don't have a W3C reference for this handy, but my understanding is that CDATA was always meant to include character entity references and that browsers have gone out of their way to interpret & and other such things as non character references whenever it could be done. Proper XHTML calls for an end to the confusion and to always use the proper &; character references even in CDATA sections. If you try an URL in a modern browser where the &'s are replaced with &'s you'll see it works as expected.
- The "name" attributes are deprecated on just about everything in XHTML 1.0 It remains on HTML form elements until those are replaced by XForms. The "name" attribute remains on meta elements, though the XHTML 2.0 draft replaces that with a "property" attribute. The "name" attribute remains on object and param elements but its meaning there relates to the plugin/handler of the object and paramter (just param in XHTML 2) and not in the sense historically used in HTML. The W3C recommends for compaitbility setting both the "name" and "id" attributes on those elements that have a "name" attribute but ensuring they are set to the same value.
- The CDATA block is actually important. Since comments are to be treated as comments a user-agent is actually supposed to ignore anything with a comment block. That menas a script data or tylesheet data within a comment will be ignored. So this is an important change for XHTML versus HTML (though user-agents may still not adopt the recommendations of the W3C and enforce this strictness relating to comments). But if a document is delivered as application/xml or application/xhtml+xml then it would be best to follow the recommendation. --Cplot 08:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi! First of all I thank everybody, you're helping me a lot. I've already made some corrections and want to point some things out:
- About the ampersand issue, the statement in the site is correct. Please refer to C.12 Using Ampersands in Attribute Values (and Elsewhere) in the XHTML 1.0 Specification.
- That thing of the "name" and "id" attributes... I can't figure out how I wrote that down, but it's wrong given that such declaration does not put two attributes of type ID in a same element (the name attribute is of type CDATA or NMTOKEN in XHTML).
- The issue of the scripts and style code (CDATA blocks) can be clearified at Script and Style elements in the XHTML 1.0 Specification.
I'll place one more question: now that I've changed to XHTML 1.0 Strict, did I solve the problem of XHTML misusing?
I've corrected all the rest, and keep going. I'd appreciate more help. Thank you...
My thoughts on the comment tag were because modern browsers know how to ignore them in style and script tags, and send their contents to the proper parsers/interpreters. Using CDATA, older browsers might not catch that as a comment and think of it as a bad tag and possibly display it. Jaxad0127 16:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I think we're misusing this discusion page so if you would like to help me pointing out errors in my site, please go to my User talk page. I will appreciate any help. Thank you...

Hi, since the last time I wrote here I've been making some serious changes to the site. I achieved a tableless layout and made all the tables meaningful. I have valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS and also give my best effort to make the page accessible for people with disabilities (W3C WAI-AAA) wich means that my site now can be accessed and read by that minority that represent persons with disabilities. You can see a fast check of that at HTMLQuick.com check results, and you can also check there the other tutorials pages you're linking to, and see how accessible they are. I keep working on the site, I've corrected some errors and made some other changes to improove it.
I think this page now deserves a place in the links section, because of the amount of work I put on it every day, beacause of the free for everybody content, and given that it offers what the others present don't: Accessibility.
I trust your judgement to be fair and conscient.
Thank you...
People I'm adding the link given that no one has objected. Regards... Diegosolo 16:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Policy
recently there have been a number of links added by anons which i have removed for being imo mediocre quality and possible self promotion.
imo the current external links here are a bit of a mess we need to clearly divide them in to offical and unofficial stuff and then go through the unoffical stuff justifying why each link is relavent. Otherwise i fear we will either drown in a sea of interwiki links or end up with the links basically frozen by reverts. Plugwash 18:19, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
There is a lot of useful information on WP (especially links) that might as well be googled. OTOH, WP is not a web directory. <shrug> If you guys can agree on something, I can go with any decision. In this case, all I care about is that the article doesn't contain an endless list of links and not even a rough guideline to remove the junk. Rl 11:46, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me where this link could be placed? I can't find a wikipedia page on converting HTML to any format (PDF or PS). http://publicliterature.org/html2pdf/ Thanks for the help. 2 May 2006
