W3schools tutorials are good because everything there is very organized
by category. That is how I learned in the beginning. Some people complain
that W3schools is a bad site because they teach you things like <body
bgcolor=""> and <font face="">. But on the other hand if I hadn't learned
how to use those things I wouldn't be
able to understand half the sites out there when I am trying to fix
someone else's web site. Sometimes you are fixing someone else's web page
and your job is not to convert it to valid HTML/CSS, but just to make it
work again as fast as possible. HTML Dog is recommended by a lot of people -- maybe it is
better. Generally, if I have a question about HTML or CSS, the first
place I go is to Google and I type my question followed by "site:w3.org"
(no quotes).
The Web Developer Toolbar extension has a "validate HTML" button and a
"validate CSS" button which are useful to check your site.
There is also an HTML Tidy Firefox extension that checks your page for
errors, so every time you view a page in your browser, all warnings and
errors will show on the status bar. It also gives you information when
you view the source (CTRL-U). I have a page with information
on it here:
