I’m always mesmerized as to why w3schools is considered the html/css reference. It just sucks.

For example, check out the definition of position: absolute. Shouldn’t “its containing block” be “its containing positionned block”? Why is the example so simplistic as to be completely pointless?

Here’s a much better explanation.

Another example:

“The <object> tag is partially supported in all major browsers.”

Geee, thanks. That sure helps a lot.

Update: Many reader comments (lost in migration, sorry) agreed with me, and some pointed out http://w3fools.com/
