Hi Jordi,

I like www.WebDeveloper.com, under the HTML section. You can also go to
www.Yahoo.com and search for "HTML Tutorial".

Hope this helps,
Carol

The problem is that there are so many HTML tutorials, and most of them
are more or less garbage. A rule of thumb: Before starting to read an
HTML tutorial, check what it says about the BLOCKQUOTE element; if it
describes that the element is for block quotations, and perhaps gives
an illustrating example, the tutorial is probably worth a closer look;
if on the other hand the tutorial starts explaining that BLOCKQUOTE is
for indentation - which is just as absurd as it sounds, and
contradicts the HTML specifications - don't waste your time with it.
(I take this example because BLOCKQUOTE is so simple an element that
even without prior knowledge on HTML you should quickly realize what
BLOCKQUOTE is for - and yet so many tutorial writers don't get that.)

See http://www.hut.fi/u/jkorpela/www.html for my suggestions on
preliminary, basic, and advanced material on HTML.

For my .02, Joe Barta's tutorials at http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/ are the
best I have seen. He has also kindly made them available to download so you
can easily refer to any of the sections offline as needed.
