- W3 Schools
- W3C standards.
- HTML and HTTP related Links
- Javascript Reference Section
- Web developer documentation
from the Mozilla project. Includes good reference information about
HTML and JavaScript.
- Text editors that understand the syntax of a the page that you are
editing (aka, programmer's editors) can be very helpful. The
TextPad editor for Windows is installed
in the labs
and can be downloaded for free (although it will ask you to buy it frequently).
jEdit is another programmer's editor. It
is written in Java and so it runs on almost any operating system. It is free,
and has lots of plug-ins that provide extended capabilities.
- There are numerous web browsers other than Microsoft's
Internet
Explorer, and some of them provide capabilities not found in IE.
The Mozilla project provides a free and
very capable browser that is particularly helpful for debugging.
Opera is a relatively small, fast,
standards-compliant browser.
