It is sad that w3scholos.com is so obsolete, incomplete, and frequently wrong. The thought went through my mind to create a similar web site, aping their form, but filling it with better, more complete, and less erroneous information, but I don't have that kind of time left over. I also thought about a wiki, so more people could collaborate to create the site. There is a scarcity of good JavaScript and DOM documentation on the web. The standards sites are incomplete, because they lack the common pseudo-standards that everybody uses. The other sites, like javascriptkit.com, are not as well organized, not continuously maintained, etc. The only fairly good one, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Web_Development , is geared towards one particular browser, Firefox, or its engine, is sometimes slow or unresponsive, and is not as well organized as w3schools.com, but it is still about the best we have. Anybody want to open up a JavaScript and DOM documentation project? Hans-Georg |
