Technically, there are tags and elements. Tags indicate the opening and closing of an element and they generally enclose content. An element refers to the entire unit: the opening tag and its attributes, the content, and the closing tag (unless, of course it is self-closing).

It's for my personal site and that is how I learn. I am a web designer learning web development, not vice versa. There are plenty of reasons not to release my site's code because it's not intended (at least not now) to be an open source project. If it became that then it would no longer be my site...it would no longer be about my learning...it would no longer be limited to my vision...I get more help then I could ever imagine on DevNetwork...this is my open source. I do my best to make sure I post working examples of code from others to benefit from. I post as accurate and standards compliant (or terminologically accurate) as possible to maximize the chances that if someone humanly asks a question I did that they will find my questions and the answers I found often sometimes from further dabbling or another forum member. However I don't always agree with other members...so I think it benefits more people this way any way. Sure you can download an open source project and learn from it's code...but you're looking at something that will likely not entirely agree with what you're attempting to do...you have to go through the code, etc. While that's true if you search when you find a forum thread you'll quickly find out that 1.) These people know or are totally clueless about what they're talking about, 2.) You can try what they did even if they didn't succeed, 3.) If they did but (as is 99.9% of the time) absolutely felt like not posting the answer or clarifying the answer enough for others to read in the archived message you can still probably figure out the approach. That's why I try to leave full working examples of what I'm doing if it's something pretty involving.
