I was teaching this chick HTML. So, as I'm going to bed.. i referred her to http://www.htmlgoodies.com to read a little bit more (i used this site to learn html back in the day).
I look at the text manipulation page/tutorial. They've updated it... okay that's fine. BUT!
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/html ... hp/3478161
They're teaching beginners to use <font style="color: red; font-family: verdana;">text</font>.... !
What's wrong with teaching them the standard, old fashioned, (much easier for beginners) way of <font face="" color="" size="">
It's not like these are going to become deprecated anytime soon? They also don't show <b><u><i> or anything! It's all style="" now.
I'm sorry but i found this a bit aggrivating as i'm trying to teach a beginner, and I think the style attribute should come after basic HTML is learned.
Does anyone else find this a bit backwards? I don't think learning the style="" attribute is more important than learning the old fashioned basics!
