What's with the body tags? You cannee have a frameset and a body element in the same document.
Freshen up on how to use frames (http://www.freewebs.com/mytestingzone/Frames.html).

Only after you have read that read the the spec. (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html).Hey! My article covers most of what you actualy need to know, and is human-readable. There's little point in reading the specs for everything when you can use tutorials.

There's little point in reading the specs for everything when you can use tutorials.I haven't met a tutorial that didn't contain errors and/or omissions. And just how are you supposed to know if the tutorial isn't a bag of dung? Keep in mind the HTML Goodies thing.

I haven't met a tutorial that didn't contain errors and/or omissions. Naturaly, there will be ommisions in most tutorials, if there wasn't then it'd just be rather dull, and you might not be able to find the bit you were looking for.
As for errors, find me an error on Bon Rouge (http://bonrouge.com) or A List Apart (http://alistapart.com).
And just how are you supposed to know if the tutorial isn't a bag of dung? I wrote it... oh... I see your point.
Keep in mind the HTML Goodies thing.A lot of people on these forums know that html goodies is a total joke, and so they wouldn't recomend it.
I would trust your recomendations, Charles, and I thought that you would trust mine considering that we are both established members of the forums. Maybe it's arrogant of me to think that I deserve that much trust, if so, I apologise.

Please note that I did suggest that one go to the spec only after having read your fine tutorial. I don't think that one could offer a tutorial any higher praise.

Ah, it seems I misread your post as "only after you've read the spec".
So thankyou.

BonRouge, I couldn't get past the unwarrented love affair with XHTML.
And I have found, in the past, a few things in ALA that needed slight improvement.
All in all, though, those two aren't too bad. Just be sure to keep the HTML 4.01 Spec, the CSS2 Spec, the ECMA 262 Spec and the DOM level 1 Spec on hand.
