No offense, but BULLCOOKIES. They still float on pretending that they have anything to do with the W3C which is why they bury the disclaimer on a sub-page that SUCKERED the W3Fools.com site into toning down their criticism. Almost all of their pages, code examples, and systems are riddled with ignorance and incompetence.

Like this shit-show I’ve had to correct multiple people blindly copying:

https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_submit

Where they have no ID for the “for” attribute to point at. No, it does NOT point at “name”

The complete omission of what headings are even FOR instead focusing on their appearance:

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_headings.asp

It is any wonder that these assclowns came up with this numbnuttery?

https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/defaulT.asp

Of course it’s ALL just a dirtbag scam to funnel people into their meaningless “certifications”. I wouldn’t trust anyone “taught” by that carny freak-show to wipe their own backside, much less write HTML and CSS.

A “view source” alone of their site should be all you need to know about these assclowns and how qualified they are to be teaching anyone… anything. Massive static script at the start of BODY? Telling accessibility to F*** itself with target? Presentational classes? DIV soup? Illogical and gibberish use of numbered headings?

Hardly a shock they vomit up 100k of markup for pages that have only 4.5k of plaintext, much less the 4.37 megabytes of scripttardery on a site that near as I can tell doesn’t even warrant the presence of JavaScript.

But sure, they’re qualified to be making HTML and CSS tutorials, of course they are. Just like how I’m qualified to give lectures on quantum physics.

Again, no offense, but if you think that ANY of their gormless chazerei is worth a damn, you do NOT know enough HTML or CSS to make such an assessment.
