I was trying to look out for a free HTML tutorial, and I found a great site at - URL removed by admin. Looks like spam. Anyone tried it out?

You wouldn't happen to be affiliated with the expertrating site would you, expertmaster?

Advocates invalid code. Not worth the bandwidth.

Advocates? I suppose but, also uses invalid code, even worse for a tutorial.

Advocates?Explicitly stating that empty HTML elements must end in an XHTML manner? Proposing the use of attributes that either don't exist in HTML (and don't need to), or those that have been deprecated and easily replaced using CSS? Yeah, I'd say that's advocating invalid code.

Quoting out of context again, eh, Mike?

You followed up with "I suppose" which, along with the question mark, implied that you relucantly agreed. I just elaborated on why I concured with Twey's assessment. :)

In all seriousness, if you still think that I misquoted you, I sincerely apologise.

I think he was just implying that it was more important that either the site itself or the examples on the site used invalid code, I'm not sure which. The most obvious answer would be that he was referring to the site itself using invalid code, which is the opposite of what I pointed out; however, I would disagree with this. The other possibility is that he misunderstood me.

John: Care to clear it up? :)

I meant, that not only does it advocate, which is bad enough, it is itself an example of, invalid code. I thought that was clear enough, perhaps not. In which case, my apologies.

Maybe it would have been better if I had typed:

Advocates!? It is invalid!!

I still want my original question that I posed to the OP answered though. Why do we never see expertmaster and the owner of expertrating.com together in the same photograph? :rolleyes:
