really? I wouldn't say it's that bad. although their are a number of pretty big wtfs on that site; which I read about in the following threads:


First, a pretty simple typo I imagine... mentioning netscape at all on any semi-modern web dev site is a pretty solid *censored*:

This one lost a LOT of my RESPECT that I had (at the time) for w3schools:

Quote
Executables, C++ (and Java too) must die

Neither C++ nor Java can ever create standard components that can run on all computers. There is no room for these languages in future distributed applications. Executables are not standard. COM objects are not standard, DLL-files are not standard. Registry settings are not standard. INI-files are not standard. None of these components must be allowed to destroy your dream of a standard distributed application that will run on almost any computer in the world.
Evidently, w3schools is completely unaware that all the browsers that will make this possible are executables; additionally, there is plenty of room for them all in the future, since, as stated they will be required to run all these script languages that they tout as "more standard". additionally, as stated by one of the posters in the thread, C++ is simply a language not necessarily a binary format. and of course java is purposely designed for use on different computers/operating systems.

And they continue their Anti-compilism attitude:

namely:
"Our best suggestion is to use a standard Internet server like Internet Information Services (IIS), with a standard request-handler like Active Server Pages (ASP), and a standard database connector like Active Data Objects (ADO)"

Most CURIOUS, they say that "COM Objects are non-standard" and yet fail to realize that ADO is based on COM. they really should at least try to be a little more consistent.

The fact that they mention netscape anywhere on the site (not sure if they do anymore, these threads are pretty dated) WOULD be a pretty big one.

In any case... I really cannot think of anything that I've seen there that is deprecated... any examples Treval? (seriously curious). I've always thought they were all gung ho on doing away with nearly every HTML attribute and tables and frames in order to replace them with CSS that anti-thetically has to be parsed by their arch-nemesis, the entity they call "compiled code". From what I've seen it's a good reference, even if their goals are ridiculous and stupid and they are completely inconsistent in what they are.

I learned everything I KNOW at W3Schools and am now using valid XHTML Strict 1.0 code on all pages I design.

They do mention some codes, but they do say that they are depricated. It's up to the user to choose from then on.
